It’s holiday time! This year give them a delicious homemade gift.

There’s something special about receiving a handmade gift. Anyone can order something off the internet, but a homemade treat says that you care. And it doesn’t have to be time-consuming. It only takes a minute or two mix up a special BBQ rub or a nut mix then put it in a jar with some ribbon on it.

Below are some of our favorite recipes that make tasty treats around the holidays. Almost everything here is shelf stable so you can just put the food in a good-looking package and then start gifting to everyone on your list!
