hampers!!

[chickenlickin]

Living the 'good life' and making stuff for (dare I say it) christmas hampers for relatives!! Just made elderflower cordial! next is chutney's, jams etc, fudge old fashioned sweets, mini christmas cakes. Taking couple of pic's of kids making the bits and include in the hamper, grandparents will love it. No big outlay all at once and can make throughout the year. Also will have a stash of everything for my own cupboard. LOve it! Just call me Barbara!

Wow I am really impressed. I intended to do this last year but ran out of time in the run up to christmas (typical of me I am afraid).

I am assuming the cordial will keep until christmas? Am off to google a recipe now.

Keep up the good work barbara!!

I used recipe from ashridgetrees.co.uk uses lemons and oranges, citric acid and campden tablets (this is ment to kill off all the bugs) then i am going to sterilize used wine bottles in oven (the kind with screw lids) and see what happens! May just store a couple in the shed for christmas but drink the rest or mix with gin!! Watch out though the sugar content is crazzzzzyyy!!!!
