Christmas mincemeat and shampoo presents.
Trimming candied peel into tiny pieces is quite time consuming but making mincemeat is now a Christmas tradition for me. I'd heartily recommend it if you have a spare hour or two.The smell of spices when you cook it is fabulous.
I've also made some more soap, just in time to be ready for Christmas (it needs 4 - 6 weeks before it can be used).I've discovered silicone moulds and just love them. I've made citrus and bergamot soap and lavender and nettle (both harvested from the garden this year) solid shampoo.
