The wife makes homemade Chocolate Peanut Clusters about 20, 1 lb. boxes to give to office workers, neighbors and poor people. It’s a pain to make but people enjoy and they are really good… Working with chocolate and getting the right temperature is not easy.. </SPAN>

Thirty five years ago found a recipe in a book at my grandma house for making mustard. I played around with the recipe and got it to where I thought it was good. Plus I was able to change the spicy heat from mild mustard to a spicy hot but not burning your mouth, just a quick blast of heat and then the sweetness takes over …. Sweet/Hot Mustard. Next year there will be a Belly Mustard Cook Book ....:laugh:

I make about 100 6 oz jars for friends, neighbors, chuch groups, workers and liberals, it takes all day but I’m willing to do it. I have some people who over the summer will buy a few jars from me and pay the shipping. Sometime a friend of a friend, friend will call and what to order mustard .. it’s not cheap ....</SPAN>

Note: If you think homemade Christmas gifts are cheap to make you are clueless mofo. </SPAN>:D

Do you or your family make any special homemade Christmas gifts for people? </SPAN>

My mom makes the GOAT Chex Mix. Not necessarily a gift but she only makes it around the holidays and always gives me a ton of it. I'd be perfectly happy with no gifts as long as I got the Chex Mix.

My friend makes homemade Pico De Gallo. It's awesome. She can make it super spicy or mild. My sister used to make small jewelry too. She made me cuff links one time.
