 Gifts From Miz Helen's Kitchen the 11th annual publication of our most popular gifts for Christmas. I love receiving a homemade gift that someone has put so much love and work into the finished product. We often time give gifts from our garden that is actually a year long effort. There are always the favorites every year and then we like to add some of the new things that folks will enjoy! It is with great joy that I present the gifts from our kitchen for this year.

Welcome To My Kitchen

When you step into my kitchen during the holiday season you will find my Retro Holiday Punch   in a slow cooker just waiting for you to have a hot cup of punch. Come sit with me and we will have a nice visit and a cup of punch.

 Apple Zucchini Bread gives me a chance to use some of the beautiful Zucchini from our garden and mix with some apples, makes this wonderful recipe. This is a delicious garden to table recipe that will be a hit in any season, but is a great transition into fall and winter.

Christmas Candy From The Kitchen
My Mother was a great cook and she came from a long history of great southern cooks. She like any good cook had her favorite things that she liked  to make. She loved sweets and she loved making candy at Christmas and of course we all loved eating it. One of her favorites that we all looked forward to was her Divinity. In honor of my Mother at this Christmas Time I am pleased to present her Divinity.

Salted Caramel Candy is a great recipe and lots of fun to make with a special Granddaughter or a friend. These little caramels will make a great gift for any occasion and disappear before you can wrap them all.
This fudge is a very special treat here at the cottage and I always get so excited to make it and even more excited to eat it! If there are plans to serve the fudge for a special occasion it must be guarded or guess what, there won't be enough for your special occasion, yes this has happened to me.

When I made the first batch of these Apple Cookies I thought I would have enough to fill the cookie jar, that did not happen. The cookie's went so fast I didn't even have enough to make photo's for this post, the cookies are a big hit here at the cottage.

Every year the Saturday  evening right after Thanksgiving our little community has a tree lighting. The lights on our Community Tree are turned on, then we all go inside for hot chocolate, little treats and Christmas Carols. Everyone brings little treats which is almost the best part. I brought my Cranberry Nut Bites and I am sharing the recipe with you.
 This is without a doubt the best brownie that I have ever had.

The cookie that we have in the Cookie Jar today is a great crisp cookie with the bite of Pomegranate exploding in your mouth. It has a great color and would be great for your Cookie Jar.
