I love to entertain, so I don't get invited out all that much. I like to cook, and people seem to like my cooking (since they come back time and again) and honestly, sometimes when I get invited somewhere else, I miss being able to spoil my friends and family. I came up with a solution... this is it:
The Host/Hostess Gift!
In my pantry is a shelf of delectables just waiting all Martha-Stewart-style, including (but not limited to) blueberry jam, blueberry sauce, strawberry sauce, strawberry syrup, black velvet apricot jam, raspberry jelly, praline syrup, spiced honey, curried ketchup, and cranberry mustard. They're even labelled and decorated already! (btw, I love the idea of using circles of scrapbook paper under the jar rings to add some pizazz)
I'm still planning on adding to this stash, since I have yet to make anything with the chokecherries and highbush cranberries growing on my property, or with my mom-in-law's apples, and I have plans for BBQ sauces and salsas.
I'm going to spoil you if you come to my house or not. *evil cackle*
YOu are welcome for supper here anytime. For now, you should probably wear rubber boots but... if you're ok with that, we'd love to have you. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo many fun ways to use scrapbook paper, other than scrapbooking. Who has time for that anyway when one is so busy making jam?
ReplyDeleteVery Cute!
