I always make jelly to give to the ladies I work with and teachers, etc. This year I made Mock Strawberry Preserves out of figs.
Mock Strawberry Preserves
6 cups figs, mashed
4 small strawberry jello pkgs
6 cups sugar
Cook mashed figs and sugar for about 10 minutes. Then add jello and bring to a hard boil - cooking 10 min longer after to comes to hard boil - stirring constantly. Put in jars and seal - invert jars for 5 minutes
I also normally make small gift albums for my mom and sil but I'm not sure that I will do that this year.
My dd is wanting scarves made out of fleece for her friends at school. I am going to buy three colos and then sew the strips on top of each other and then cut fringe on each side and then purchase small gloves at walmart to give with them.
