I like to make things with my hands. I am not 'talented' by any means, but do enjoy the process. Last year I made several batches of hot pepper jelly - both my first time at home preserving and giving gifts from my kitchen. I think it turned out very well. I had surplus of late assorted peppers and could not figure out what I could do with them, and that turned into a very cool adventure for my family. If you ever decide to make hot pepper jelly - DO TAKE the precaution and WEAR GLOVES. It was painfully learned that even after washing your hands several times, rubbing your eyes or touching your nose can turn into a painful lesson.
This year I have a lot of mint in the garden, actually what was my compost pile has a large amount of mint. Sad to say I did not know it was a perennial here - and it is a bit invasive! I found a recipe for mint scented Epsom salts, and think it would make a lovely gift; especially once labeled as Candy Cane Bath Salts!
Another list this week to make are the gifts that you plan to make from your kitchen or maybe items you plan to craft for the holiday? Dividing them between now and the first week of December will help keep the process enjoyable and keep you from feeling overwhelmed!
