For as long as we’ve lived here, our favourite tradition is putting together handmade hampers as holiday gifts for our loved ones. From fruit liqueurs, handmade salves, wreaths, hand poured candles and a range of jams and jellies have all featured in our hamper (alongside a homegrown chicken and a dozen of our eggs).
In this course, we share our best recipes and all the tips and tricks we’ve found for making the holiday season that little bit more special.
We will start with the gifts that take a bit longer to make and then move on to some that you can make and have ready on the day.
