Very cool! So what was in all the beautiful jars you brought? And what did you walk away with?

What fun! All the jars look so pretty with their ribbons and lace. Such a neat idea! What is the pink stuff in the jars on the far right?

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.

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?

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.
