Packaging/Presentation ideas for set of 3 chutneys, please!

r.a.i.n.b.o.w

Hi all!

For Xmas I am giving everyone a set of 3 homemade chutneys, but I have no idea how to pack them so they're "impressive", if you get my drift?

So...does anyone have any frugal and creative presentation ideas for packaging? They are each 250g (8oz) jars, if that's any help

Thanks! :money:

Depending on how many you are needing i have found these:

You have to buy them in lots of 10 so £8.40 and then postage and packaging on top. I thought they were really nice and not a bad price - as long as you need 10.

Hope it helps. xxx

OMG! These are EXACTLY what I was looking for! But couldn't find any that were less than about £2 each! :eek:

Thank you so much!:beer:

I'm going to get some for my chutneys that i'm making. Thought they were a really good price. Postage and packaging isn't that bad either. Glad i could help you. xxx

For those who dont need ten , what about putting them in a nice bottle bag with a bow!

I really don't need 10 but those bags are perfect! Hmm I'm sure I can think of 10 people!
Can I just ask what chutney are you going for, it will be the first time I've made it this year and I quite like the look of Nigella's receipe but any advice would be greatly receievd!
Thanks

We are making the following (diferent sets for different people)

Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's "Glutney" (in River Cottage Year)
Elderberry Chutney (tons of those around now, free is always the best price Lol)
Elderberry Ketchup
Elderberry Jam
Mulled Spice Elderberry Cordial
Red Onion Marmalade
Bramble Jelly
Damson Jam

Think there's something else but can't remember right now. It's great fun picking things as a family, making nice foodie things and then being able to share them.
I love the Jute bags. Might do that next year, am doing the stacking into bottle bags this year (have bottle bags leftover from last year)

Chutney sounds great but link does not work. I have some rhubarb in the freezer. Can you post again please as would love to make it. I made curried apple chutney & christmas chutney on friday. curried one is yummy but not tried the other one yet as needs to mature.

Thanks
