Christmas is over and a New Year is about to start!

Hello all my loyal readers (cough, cough)! I'm excited that the new year is so close. Oh the plans I have! So the Apple Pie Liquor, the Pomegranate Cordial and the Malted Milk ball cream liquor all went over super well. Next year, I'll need to make more cream liquor, since that was a real hit. I will be making pumpkin pie cream liquor, too. Also, I made some cinnamon chocolate popcorn as a last-ditch effort to spruce up some small gifts and that, too, was well received. Next time, I'd like to try a sweet and spicy caramel popcorn, or a mexican chocolate chile popcorn. Those would be great at cocktail parties. There are big plans for canning this year-Woo hoo! On the agenda this week is candied kumquats, and spiced orange slices. There will be some marmalades, soon, too. Also on the drawing board is pear relish, carrot cake jam, pickled red cabbage and apples, and much more. I'm hoping that this year will make this blog proud!
