How to Give a Great Food Gift

• Clearly label each gift with the name of the recipe and any storage directions.

• Include a card with serving ideas.

• Make sure containers (especially those you pick up at yard sales or antique stores) seal tightly.

• Add a little something extra. Attach a pretty spoon to a jar of jam with a ribbon, line a basket of cookies with a beautiful cloth napkin, present homemade muffins in a shiny new muffin tin, or place chocolates in a vintage glass candy dish wrapped with colored cellophane and topped with a bow.
