Homemade Food Gifts for the Holidays

ive merged this with our homemade food gifts thread

This question was asked before about lemon curd - and someone suggested lemon cheese?

Is lemon drizzle cake any use?

Two years ago i made decorations with orange slices. I studded them with cloves, dried them on the radiator on kitchen roll. Then i thread them with ummmm giftwrap string or ribbon. I glittered and decorated some and everyone wanted one. Everyone thought they were gorgeous

They look very blue peter but the pics didn't do them justice at all

they would work with lemon if you're crafty and have time on your hands.

I think im going to make some this year, everyone went mad for them. I really wish the pics did them justice Mum thought i had lost the plot :o

Thanks! they were a labour of love but very therapeutic. Do let me know if you make them - i need pics!!!! Oranges are going on my list soon

If you look in the pound shops you can get the present confetti in all shapes and sizes, you can decorate with all sorts of things. Keep scraps of ribbon too and bag yourself some cheap glitter. Happy days.

The more i did, i learnt you need to anchor the bow/ribbon to ensure it doesnt turn to one side. SO you knot it so it hangs centrally if that makes sense.
