On the left, is homemade fudge that the kids helped stuff. Our great-grandmother's recipe, it's a cute stocking filler for everyone who visits!
Next up - sloe gin! Of course, the kids won't be drinking it, but they helped pick the sloes about 4 months ago from our local nature reserve. It was a beautiful day, with our little hound, and we just used the dog's poo bags to collect those incredible sloes, added sugar with the gin, shook once a week and hey presto!
Finally. blackberry jam, again - the blackberries picked from our local nature reserve. It really makes a lovely day out, and a great idea for the stockings!
Kids love making up the tags too :)
Merry Christmas everyone!
