Make gifts to save money during holidays

22.02.12

I found a good sale on hardback cookbooks for $5 each, bought Christmas towels from a dollar store and then added jars of homemade jam and truffles to each basket. Everyone who received a basket raved about the truffles and jam. It made me really happy that they enjoyed something that I had made myself.

It didn’t hurt that it also made me look like a domestic superhero, either.

Using sales, coupons, and local fruits, I was able to make each gift basket for less than $15! Jam is really simple to make. It only requires three ingredients: juice or fruit, sugar and pectin. You also need some basic equipment; a very tall pot (or boiling water canner), canning jars (about $1 each for small jelly jars), and tongs to grab the jars out of the water.

Small boxes of pectin can be expensive. If you plan on making several large batches, you might want to consider bulk purchases to find the best deal. If you plan to only make one or two batches, then boxed pectin is fine. The boxes also contain exact instructions for many types of jam, including low-sugar versions and freezer jams that will not need to be set in canning jars (you must refrigerate instead).
