RE: ADSactly Food: Gifts from the Heart, Gifts from the Kitchen Edition 2019 - Oranges and Lemons
I've made most of my Christmas gifts for years, because (to me at least) they are so much more meaningful than simply plunking down a credit card, and I enjoy making them.
I made a post a few days ago about making apple butter and spiced (mulled) cider; the cider I keep on the stove throughout the coldest part of the season, and much of the apple butter will be given as gifts, along with the hickory syrup I make each year.
As most of our gifts go to adults these days, I've taken to giving several kinds of homemade liqueurs, which are luscious in their own right.
Lovely post and sentiment, thanks. I'll definitely try out your recipe for lemon curd. ;-)

You're so very right, it really is much more meaningful than a mass produced gift from the store and it's really such a pleasure making gifts in one's own kitchen. Homemade liqueurs are one of the things I want to make for this series, so we're thinking along the same lines;) I will definitely check out your apple butter and spiced cider, sounds delicious!
We're well into summer here in the southern hemisphere, but a spiced cider sounds good for any time of the year not so;)
Thank you for your great comments!
Thanks, and good luck with your foray into making liqueurs!
I was blessed with two pink grapefruit trees at my last home, which had incredible fruit with truly delicious flavor, and I always wanted to make marmalade with them, as I knew it would be unique and delicious.
Sadly, I never got around to actually doing it, which is an opportunity lost. But, hopefully one day, if I luck into some fruit anywhere near as good, I'll give it a go.
Have a wonderful day and weekend!
Thank you so much! I just love pink grapefruit, it makes a delicious juice too! A great weekend for you as well:)
