I made some this weekend for company. Everyone was pleasently surprised and what fun. One of the ladies asked for the recipe, she has 4 kids.

My Christmas boxes aren't anything fancy, sorry. I was going to get the one rate box from the post office and fill it. Anything that fits, gets sent and jars can weight a bit. It's the larger box as they have two sizes. You could probably decorate, but I was being practical.

Well the safety warning is good to consider. I think I am still going to make these, but I doubt they will last long enough to be troublesome! I store cakes on the counter so perhaps I will let them cool, then cap them. That will keep the fresh and not botulism risk! LOL

The reason they seal so well and have the vacum is from sealing while still hot Alee. I wouldnt' trust them if they HAD cooled first, unless they were stored in the fridge of course...something to think about.

Also I'm not sure about all this stuff, that was said about the batulism, but doesn't almost all canned goods have moisture? All the fruit, all the veggies, pickles, etc etc have lots of "moisture". Yet no one worries about them. I believe it's the vacuum seal that keeps them "good". Plus, I believe the most important thing is using new lids, and making sure the jars and lids are well sterilized.
