"Homemade gifts are an easy way to lend a personal touch to holiday giving. They show you've taken the time to fuss a bit, as well as give special consideration to the recipient's desires. A loved one with high blood pressure may appreciate a no-salt seasoning. A gourmet cook will enjoy exploring uses for preserved lemons, while a family could dig into a selection of flavored popcorn. A jar of gem-like pomegranate jelly makes an easy hostess gift. The lemons need some curing time, while the popcorn is best delivered soon after you make it. The jelly and seasoning mix can be made now, easing the holiday rush."
