Hm. Yesterday: cupcakes. Today: muffins. You might start thinking I like cake.
Have you heard of Gifts In A Jar? Of course you have. No? Look here, here & here!
Ever since I first laid eyes on this ingenious idea, I have been saying that one day I will make a gift mix for somebody. Hasn't happened yet. However, somebody gave me one! That's a better scenario altogether!
My friend Susan made this Cranberry Muffin mix for me:
She printed out a card with the required additional ingredients and attached it to the jar:
All I had to do was add buttermilk, butter and 2 eggs in order to make a plate of yummy muffins within the half hour!
They were super-moist and delicious.
Susan, if you are reading this, be prepared to be pestered for the complete recipe!
Has anybody else ever made a gift in a jar for somebody or received one?

I made some of these for gifts a couple of years ago, for Christmas and people loved them! They are great gifts.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely weekend!!
I did this for the girls christmas fair, for the jar tombola. Worked out well for the school, because when the kid one a jar of cookie mix they wanted another go to get a jar of sweets. Kids and their desire for instant gratification!
ReplyDeletewhat a darling idea, i love it!!
