YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Come all ye tasteful Homemade edible and drinkable gifts By You Magazine - December 5, 2021 For the ultimate original gift, try these homemade edible (and drinkable) ideas by YOU food editor Eleanor Maidment. Ellis Parrinder Hot sauce The simplest of hot sauces but it packs a mighty punch with a nicely rounded heat. You can add a dash of ground cumin or sweet smoked paprika into the mix too. Ellis Parrinder GET THE RECIPE Toasty coconut granola Granola offers a nutritious way to start the day after the weeks of Christmas excess. Ellis Parrinder GET THE RECIPE Hazelnut liqueur chocolate truffles Gorgeously nutty and hard to resist, these truffles are best stored in the fridge until ready to serve. You can use your favourite liqueur: amaretto, Baileys or even a spiced rum all work really well. Ellis Parrinder GET THE RECIPE Blackberry and apple gin It only takes a couple of weeks to infuse this fruity magenta gin that has a subtle hint of liquorice from the star anise. It makes brilliant cocktails or can be sipped, chilled, just as it is. Ellis Parrinder GET THE RECIPE Caramelised carrot and onion seed chutney and rosemary and poppy seed crackers Slightly sweet and lightly spiced, this is a glorious chutney to serve with cheese. It makes a knockout cheese on toast, or will elevate any Boxing Day sandwiches. These snappy little crackers along with the carrot chutney will be a great addition to any festive cheeseboard. Ellis Parrinder GET THE RECIPE Orange shortbread stars For an extra festive hit, you can add a pinch of ground cinnamon or mixed spice along with the flour. Ellis Parrinder GET THE RECIPE Food styling: Sarah Hardy.
