As much home made stuff as possible &amp; I'd like to try &amp; avoid overtly Christmassy things. Things that can be used in January &amp; beyond. My girlfriend &amp; I love to cook and we've decided, in proper credit crunch fashion, to make up a few hampers and individual items for close family &amp; bunch of friends that we're visiting over the holidays.<br> <br> I've got a few ideas from <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/95733/Picklers-of-the-world-unite">these</a> <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/53081/Spreading-cheer-with-festive-food">previous</a> <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/91803/Preparing-Pantry-for-Parties">threads.</a><br> <br> Prepared items and ingredient packs with a recipe are where we want to go. Currently, chilli jam, fig jam, a Kerelan fish chutney &amp; a buckwheat pancake mix with (quality) maple syrup are on the list.<br> <br> We want to do most of the prep from next weekend onward but really want the items to be used after the Christmas gorging season is done and forgotten so preserves, pickles, chutneys, flavoured things (everything from sugar to vodka) are all good, as long as they don't need too much maturing time.<br> <br> Bonus points for recipes in grammes or ounces rather than cups! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.107313 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 06:13:47 -0800 christmas chutneys food hamper pickles preserves recipes i_cola
