Homemade Christmas gifts and crafts with Bonne Maman

Bonne Maman jars are an ideal choice to fill with all manner of seasonal goodies. If you do have time to bake at home, these sweet treats are wonderful stored and served to family and friends or when prettily tied with festive ribbons and tags make delicious homemade gifts and presents.

The Mini Shortbread Mince Pies recipe is a new take on the traditional favourite, featuring Bonne Maman Apricot Conserve. Updating a French staple, Cranberry & Pistachio Tuiles work well with Strawberry, Raspberry, Wild Blueberry or Blackcurrant Conserves, and are great as an after dinner morsel; whilst the utterly delicious, no bake Choc Cherry Truffles are full of Black Cherry Conserve with a great vegan option available also. 

Put together a selection of Chocolate Cherry Crinkles using Black Cherry Conserve and Spiced Sugar Snowflakes made with Bonne Maman Salted Caramel. Bonne Maman Hazelnut Chocolate Spread makes a delicious Christmas gift when presented with a box of homemade Thumbprint Shortcakes, just neatly stack them up and tie with a ribbon.
