Every 3-4 years I get all "creative" and make all the Christmas
presents...... candied ginger, home made chocolates, biscuits, fruit
cakes, puddings, chilli jams, sweet chilli sauce, chutneys, spreads etc.

I suppose it's getting to that time of the decade again.

I'll wait till after the SO's 50th party and see how my cooking
'tolerance' is :-)

But those soaps sound good, especially the coffee soap!!

Are your candied pecans like this........??
