From the Kitchen
Unlike homemade goodies that need to be given out within a day or two of baking them, Cookies in a Jar consist of a pleasing presentation of dry ingredients that are layered in a large glass jar.  A gift card is attached to explain the remainder of steps and ingredients necessary to complete the recipe.   

If you are looking for something other than sweets, here are some homemade goody, jar creations.

  • The art of bean soup

  • Brownies in a jar

  • Mulled cider mixes

  • Cranberry vinegar

  • Beer mustard with caraway seeds

Homemade Odds & ends that you can make.

  • Chocolate spoons  

  • Flavored vinegars  

  • Chili mixes  

  • Spicy Pecans

Gifts of Food and Drink
Indian River Fruit Company
has a nice selection of  Florida citrus that can be mailed to those faraway relatives or gift baskets that you can purchase and deliver in person.
