I had cute ideas for this year, that do not cost a lot and are cute and fun.
I made this Pumpkin Jam (like butter). Then put it in small jars with a circle piece of fabric, ruban and small tree ornaments. With the cookies in the jar i did the same. I am sure you have some empty jars in your closet you forgot about! like me.
Pumpkin Jam
3 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
4 1/2 cups white sugar
1 Tablespoon pumkin pie spice
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
in a saucepan, combine pumpkin, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and gelatin, mix well.
On medium heat bring to boil, then stir constantly for 5 minutes.
Spoon hot stuff in jars and screw metal lids.
About 4 small jars.
Here is another idea with jars:
Butterscotch chip cookies in a jar
1 1/8 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup rice crispies
3/4 cup butterscoch chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans
layer in jars, firmly pack each ingredients. close, put fabric, ruban and tag.
Directions:
empty jar in mixing bowl add 1/2 cup melted, but not hot melted butter, 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Use hands and mix. make walnut sizes balls. cook on cookie sheet for 8- 10 minutes at 350.
