Homemade gifts for Mum

It’s payback time, so make something nice for your mum! Much better than just buying something. Take a bit of time thinking about the packaging, as presentation is an important and enjoyable part of making your own gifts.

French-style spiced cherry tea

Pack in a wrapped jar with a ribbon tied around it. Get the recipe

Brutti ma buoni (Ugly but nice cakes)

These are based on the traditional Italian biscuit and are spiced hazelnut meringues that are easy to make. We make lots for any celebration. Pack them in a box with tissue and tie up with a ribbon for presentation. Get the recipe

Chocolate walnut figs

These are the best things! Not too sweet, and with the surprise of the walnut stuffing. Don’t use dried Turkish figs as they are too hard. I used the Tasti brand of ready to eat figs, which are soft and juicy. Get the recipe
