The Holiday Gift Class was a resounding success. In less than three hours, we cooked, canned, processed and gift wrapped 54 jars of Essen' famous Tipsy Cranberry Fig Conserve. We also learned the fundamentals behind refrigerator cookies and developed a new combination for the basic Ginger Cookies. Who'd think five spice powder and cardamom would add the extra something special to a holiday cookie? We then wrapped all 42 dozen cookies into our bio-compostable cellophane sleeves, twisted, tied and labeled them ready-to-give and ready-to-Essen.
Annie, of Lancaster, exclaimed, "Why can't we do this once a month?!" Well, Annie, you can. Our next Puttin' Up Party will be held on Saturday, January 24 from 1pm - 4pm. Soup's on the menu. While it's cooking, we'll assemble Brandied Winter Fruit. Invest a few hours with Essen. Talk about a unbounded payoff.
