Ten delicious recipes, perfect for gift giving this Christmas season.Â
With so many delicious recipes in our archives, we couldn't just do one post about gifts from the kitchen! If you missed our last post it was all about sweet treats. This time we've focused on more savory recipes. From crackers to nuts, to jams and jellies, this post has something for everyone. Most of these recipes would be a great accompaniment to a cheese board or appetizer spread. Whichever one you choose, your friends and family will be so appreciative!
If you can cut up some dried figs and add sugar, balsamic vinegar, water and lemon juice then bring it all to a boil, you can make this delicious balsamic fig jam! That's all there is to it!
There are so many ways to use these crazy delicious, super easy candied pecans… a crunchy cocktail nibble, fabulous salad topping, an awesome hostess gift, gourmet ice cream, and dessert topping… And there's a video to demonstrate just how easy they are!
Keep a stash of these Cranberry Clementine Conserves handy for a super easy and absolutely delicious appetizer. It's also fabulous for gift giving!
These easy Copycat Rosemary Pecan Raincoast Crackers taste just like the ones at the gourmet markets! Add some great cheese, one of the jams or jellies in this post and a bottle of wine and you've got a wonderful gift.
Easy Blood Orange Marmalade- With only 15 minutes of hands-on time, this delicious (not-bitter) marmalade brings a little sunshine to the breakfast table! No canning skills needed!
A delicious snack, cocktail nibble or salad topper, all in one easy recipe! But beware: these Sweet and Spicy Roasted Almonds are difficult to stop eating!
Cranberry Sriracha Pepper Jelly - This stuff is crazy good! We love it spooned over cream cheese and served with crackers but it also makes a wonderful glaze for chicken, pork, salmon, etc.
Exactly as the title says, this Rosemary Balsamic Salad Dressing goes with everything. It's delicious drizzled on salads, veggies, entrees, etc!
With 10 minutes of hands-on time, these super healthy, gluten-free Pine Nut Seeded Crackers are perfect for dips, snacking and alongside soups and salads!
Mango Sriracha Chutney - this stuff is crazy good and so versatile. It's fabulous for appetizers, as a sandwich spread, a base for pizza, a glaze for grilled chicken - you name it!

Hi M C, we tried sending the labels but they were returned. Could you have left an incorrect email?
Everything looks so beautiful and delicious! Would love to have the printable labels for orange and cranberry marmalade, and balsamic fig jam. I think your jams and jellies will make delicious gifts, as well as delights for ourselves. Thanks, and love your site.
So many great ideas, and they are all so so beautiful! I love that cranberry clementine conserve, that color is everything!
Thanks so much, Laura! You are a great encourager!
Oh that fig jam would be perfect to have on hand this time of year. Gift some on over to me whenever you're ready! Haha
Thanks, Tricia! I wish we lived close enough to bring you some jam!
Wow! So many SUPER GREAT kitchen gift ideas. I am new to your food blog, just about 2 weeks.
