Gift Jar Recipes

Cafe Society

We’ve been given a few Gift Jars and they’re often pretty good. The idea, for the uninitiated, is to take a bunch of dry ingredients, layer them in a jar and decorate the jar. They’re good gifts for the casual friend, the milk-truck guy, mail-person, etc.

There’s usually attached instructions like “add contents of jar to a cup of milk and an egg, stir, bake at 350 for 10 minutes”.

We were given a jar of effervescing lemony bath salts once that the Lady B really loved. We’ve been given some not-so-good drink mixtures, too.

Anyway, what good recipes to you have for gift jars?

Cookie mixes are the easiest. Try chocolate chip, everybody likes 'em. Hot chocolate mix is good too[cocoa, sugar, dry milk]

All the recipes for things in Jars you could possibly want.

I have the cookie one. They are pretty good, and it comes with the tags for the jars premade!
