SWEET GREETINGS
The exciting days leading up to Christmas bring opportunities to bestow scrumptious victuals in marvelous packages to those near and dear. Reusable glass jars serve as a perfect petite vessel for Cranberry-Satsuma Chutney or Citrus Sugar. For savory delicacies like Rosemary-Cheddar Bread and Smoky Pepper Jack Cheese Straws, layer metallic paper and velvet ribbon to create stylish sleeves. Chocolate Truffles arranged on a hammered tray or tucked in mini gold boxes make for two delights in one.
