to answer a few questions....
1. We will hold these quarterly...next one in January- capping it off at 40 people.
2. Recipe for Orange Blossom Rice Mix...
Orange Blossom Rice Mix
This recipe will fill a 1-cup container.
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice (I used Jasmine)
1/2 teaspoon dried orange peel (I dehydrated in my oven and ground in spice mill)
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram (Oregano works as a sub)
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Store in an
airtight container.
Orange Blossom Rice:
2 & 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter
1 package Orange Blossom Rice Mix (see above)
In a medium pan, bring the water and butter to a boil.
Add the rice mix and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover and cook for 20 minutes.This rice is delicious
with sauteed chicken or fish.

Peg, Your jars look wonderful! What a treat to get all of your homemade goodies, but then to have them all prettied up like that!
How do you make the orange blossom rice?

What a wonderful idea to put together with a group! You really got a lot of wonderful additions for your pantry too. Do you trade more often than once a year? I am thinking this would be a fun way to swap goodies that could be used for holiday gift baskets.
