I make lemon curd all the time and I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like it. It’s great as a housewarming gift with a basket of scones. It also makes a lovely desert cake. Split in half a round spongecake, fill with curd and sprinkle top of cake with some powdered sugar. I’ll have that with a spot of tea please!

I love these ideas! They are great. The Lemon Curd sounds yummy!

I found some really great homemade recipes and gifting/craft ideas online yesterday at http://www.nhplaydates.com/id13.html they are pretty kid friendly too, which helps a SAHM like myself have something constructive to do. Check it out if you have sometime, it seems you would like it!

I get frozen pizza dough at Di Laurenti’s market here in Seattle and it bakes up wonderfully (you just let it rise for about a half hour). As for freezing pasta dough, I am not sure, but I don’t see why you can’t! Great idea, Jackie!!

What a wonderful post!! Thank you a million x over for this one. I was also thinking of making homemade pasta and pizza dough to give as gifts…does anyone know if they’re OK to freeze so that they can be enjoyed year-round??

Great ideas! Not only will they be just as good Down Under, but also I will be passing this site on. Have a wonderful holiday Season and (very) warm wishes from Alice Springs, Central Australia!

I love giving biscotti as a gift. There are some cookies that I feel like are best 1-2 days out of the oven but biscotti has a little bit longer of a shelf life.

Some of your ideas are so great, and ones I would never thought of! Thanks!

Hey, thanks for posting this. This is a really great idea. I’ve actually been trying out a couple of different recipes for fudge, thinking it would be a nice gift to give to friends for Christmas. Your lemoncello looks fantastic!

Thanks for posting this. The vingar is really intriguing to me. I think I will make some and see how it comes out, then get the production line going!!

Great ideas. I will definitely be scaling back on gift buying this year. Pepper Jelly is my favorite thing on the planet, so I’ll be fixing a batch for sure. Thanks for the jar resource.
