What's your favourite recipes?

Want to do some and use fr homemade xmas gifts this yr. Was thinking of doing jam, tablet and not sure what else as gifts

Also dows anyone know where I can get persoanlised labels? Want them to say made by the little hands of ???????

can i ask too please once I make the jam how long a life will it have? Probably a stupid question lol

At least a year, although you will eat it all up long before then!

I recommend Marguerite Patten's book, which is the absolute gold standard for jam & preserves. Link here
Recipes by the WI are good too. It is really vital to follow a good reliable recipe and sterilise the jars properly (not difficult, you just need to be meticulous.

Labels - try Martha Stewart's website for printable templates for all sorts of things - bet there is something suitable.

My favourite is damson.

Good luck!
