I have acumulated, (intentionally), a nice little collection of empty jars. You know I never noticed how wonderfully embossed some of the regular jars are that ones produce comes in. Pesto sauce, Salsa and more, the jars are strong, and interesting once the labels come off.

So I got to thinking,  what would be a nice foodie gift for ones friends? I have my own picked peppers and onions which I use for my favourite omelettes, (recipe will appear in a future post on the craven maven blog :) ), and wouldn't it be nice to share with friends a nice homemade gift of preserves or pickled items? So now I am on the hunt for some preserve recipes - if you know of any leave a message at the end of this post!
