One of my favorite homemade Christmas presents (both to give and receive) is food in jars. The mixes are (usually) layered and pretty to look at, while also still being useful and consumable. This year we made Taco Bean Chili and Cornbread Mix for our pastors and church administrator. The cornbread mix is the standard recipe I use, which was on the back of the cornmeal package. Jonah and Matthew even helped dump the ingredients into the jars!
I also included a bag of peanut butter granola, but that didn't make it into the picture. I printed the directions for the mixes onto labels and stuck them right onto the jars, so they won't get lost. We recycled some jars that had been given to us last year with other goodies in them, as well as some cleaned out pickle, salsa, and sauce jars that I had saved from the past few months. This is an easy (and cheap!) present that can be appreciated after the holidays are over.
