Each year I put together homemade Christmas hampers for family and friends. It started way back when we lived in France and grew most of our own food. Some of the chutneys and jams I made using seasonal crops from our garden would be put by for Christmas markets and the rest were for the hampers. Nearer to Christmas I would be busy baking and making honeycomb to add the final touches to the hampers.

Christmas Shortbread
Shortbread is a classic Christmas treat and tastes even better when it's homemade.
Packed with the Christmas flavours of mulled wine spices and orange. A perfect partner for your festive cheeseboard and a great alternative to cranberry sauce when serving roast turkey or pork.
A fab alternative to Christmas cake for marzipan lovers. These little sweet treats are even more delicious to eat warm as the marzipan gently oozes out from the middle.
