I agree, good ideas!
I was just saying last night that I need to start looking for a taco seasoning recipe.

I have been making the candy apple jelly for a few years and my family, teachers, etc. loved it. I have not made the honey butter before, but it should taste great with the cinnamon in it too.

Thank you for posting the recipes, Kristina!
I made the Candy Apple Jelly this year too.
I used apple cider instead of juice though. And since I couldn't find the candy red hots anywhere at the time, I used a bottle of them from the cake decorating aisle. It was less than called for but still very tasty!

Kristina,
too funny I was just going to come post about the taco seasoning mix. We had tacos the other night and hubby loves the mix I make. Thought it would be a good gift for his family. Now he tells me. That's ok, I'm filling all this for next year, since we are done with gifts on his side. We also made some BBQ rubs I think I'll add to the list especially for his brother.

I am up to my eyeballs in rag rugs for Christmas gifts! aacckk! what was I thinking...ok, gotta go, workng on a rug tonight !lol!
Hey Kristina, luv the Taco seasoning idea (luv the label idea too!) as well as the Candyapple Jelly....sure would be a lot quicker then crocheting rag rugs! :>)
I am writing a 'post-it' to my self right now to make the jelly for next year...but I had better start crochetting washrags now to wrap the jars in! :>)

Thanks for posting the recipes. The taco seasoning mix looks great. I always use my own seasoning instead of a pre-packaged seasoning, and this recipe looks much better than what I've made. I can think of several people who would love this as a gift.
Warmly,

Kristina-
I love the idea for using the old Christmas cards for canning jar lid covers! They are BEAUTIFUL! thanks for such a wonderful idea- I will surely be putting this to good use!
Merry Christmas!
