The season of giving is here and so are the holiday parties! It is the time of year that we all love to spend time together and eat to our hearts content! Especially the baked goods ♥︎! My mom always taught me never to show up empty handed as a guest to a party. So over the years, I have made many DIY hostess gifts, everything from edible cookies in a jar, to homemade lip gloss! So here I’ll share a few of my favourite Mason Jar gifts to make in under 15 minutes, with more to come! If you are going to a guest in someones home who is living with specific dietary needs, I promise they will very much appreciate your effort to make a gift that they can enjoy!

Equipment Needed
- 1 Small - Medium Mason Jar 250mL jar
- Decorative Ribbon used to tie instructions to jar
INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, turmeric & cardamom. Whisk on stove over low-medium heat until well combined. Do not boil.
- Once well mixed & all honey melted, remove from heat & pour into mason jar.
- Allow to cool completely & set (harden) at room temperature.
- Sprinkle with a large pinch of saffron on top of honey.
- Place lid on jar. If gifting, decorate to your liking.
- Print FREE instruction tag & add to jar with ribbon.
Notes
- Use this honey to make a lovely, warming & powerfully healing Golden Turmeric Latte. Just add 1-2 tsp of immunity boosting healing honey to 1 cup of milk of your choice. Heat over low-medium heat on a low simmer for 2-3 mins. Strain through a mesh strainer & enjoy warm!
- Eat this honey off the spoon if you're feeling under the weather this cold & flu season. It will taste a little gritty due to the spices. I prefer to drink it melted into warmed milk as a golden latte.
