Gifts In A Jar


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?

  4. 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!
