Pickles and chutneys are always a popular gift at this time of year.  If you’re thinking of giving a cheese board as a gift, how about adding some homemade goodies?  Oatcakes, crisp biscuits or smoky, spicy sweet onion marmalade.  It only take a little patience to sweat down the onions and the result is magical.  It makes a bought gift very personal and thoughtful.

    • I love onion marmalade too, this is just a little different with a wonderful smoky flavour. The labels are just luggage labels from the stationers. GG x

  13. Hope you had a lovely christmas and a very happy 2014 to you! Another fabulous gift recipe, you’ve been on a wonderful roll haven’t you?! And lucky, lucky friends you have to receive all these goodies. I was thinking about attempting something similar with Gran Luchito paste, but didn’t get around to it in time for christmas. Yours sounds truly divine!
