kyburgHow to make a gift with something you have around the house. (Version 4.0)
Look for what's in season near you.
Then search out recipes. We've made pomegranate jelly since I can remember...every year...as gifts. Why? Someone had six trees in the backyard and it made sense to use them up as they came on this time of year. Gorgeous color -
I can tell you more ways to juice a pomegranate...not many of them all that efficient. (Believe it or not, an orange juicer attachment for a stand mixer? Don't. Just. Don't.)
But a sweet potato pie would be nice. A bag of winter squashes with a short stack of recipes? Shell some walnuts, roast and spice them - put those in a jar!
There's always someone with a persimmon tree around here. Cookies, butter, bread -
See you tomorrow!
