Whether homemade holiday gifts are your forte or you’re ready to try something new, delicious recipes in a jar can be crowd-pleasers for many people on your list. They’re a lot of fun to give and receive—and they can be filled with ingredients that promote better health.

Jars of goodness.

Recipe ingredients placed in a mason or canning jar for easy preparation make a great gift for all ages. Plus, it can be an easy way to involve children and share the meaning behind the giving. Personalize each jar with a colorful bow and recipe card so your recipients simply pour the contents into a bowl, add a few simple ingredients they likely have at home, and follow the instructions.
