We made vanilla, lemon, and orange extracts as gifts a few years ago, and gave cinnamon-scented pound cake last year.

My mother's Christmas cookies

Homemade caramel, butterscotch or fudge sauce - most people seem to think they come from the supermarket, and are very appreciative when they receive and taste the homemade versions. The bonus is that they are easy to make!

I received a jar of the most delicious bread and butter pickles from my sister one year. I still think about them and wish I hadn't eaten the jar so quickly.

I once made fig & Ginger jam for someone who was recovering from a stroke because she loved it and could no longer make it herself.

When my mother was dying, a friend came and cooked dinner for me and my father three nights running. i couldn't tell you a single dish I ate in that time, but the love is something I still feel twenty-five years later.

My daughter and her family were moving and stopped by to visit us on the way to their new digs. I decided to make her favorite pie filling as a jam...peachy strawberry rhubarb. It turned out great and she was so happy she cried.

When a dear pal was going through chemo, I would come by once a week or so and leave some homemade soup -- she loves soup. We pretended the little gifts were left by the "soup fairy." (She pulled through and is doing great.)

A very busy co-worker of mine takes the time every year to make an individual treat for everyone in the office for Christmas, which is so nice!

I've made homemade marshmallows for gifts.

gbc3304October 30, 2015

Received? - homemade shortbread (then I top with lightly sweetened mascarpone, homemade caramel and pomegranite = oh my!!).
Give? - Reindeer mix (because my daughter helps me make it and swears it's not Christmas without it) and homemade hot mustard (family tradition)

Homemade marshmallows. Hands down.

Homemade hot coco or caramel is probably my biggest hits. My husband seems to think you can only buy these type of things in the store and it always amazes him that you can actually make this stuff at home. I just asked him the other day, how else does he think food gets cook!!

Every year I make a ginger bread house that I bring to a party we are invited to.

I love giving away my home made vinegars wine cider and beer aromatised with my garden herbs or the wild herbs gathered in the country

robinorigNovember 13, 2015

So hard to chose one. I've been making homemade granola, jams, pickles, candied citrus, etc. Of course people love the baked goods the best! Cookies, cakes, popovers...
