I usually make up to a 10 quantity of this recipe and, after I have put some aside for Christmas day, I fill lovely Christmassy decorated jars to give to our guests ater we have finished our Christmas day celebrations. They are so polular that I always get asked if they can have a refill once their jars are empty! lol
Enjoy!!!
