And here's the actual kitchen gift list for 2023 ...

 

 Above you see the tentative kitchen gift list I made for Christmas 2023.

And, here's how things actually went in the Christmas kitchen gift department:

We made several batches of Chocolate Mint Crisps, 

 Eggnog Logs, 

and   Sacher Torte Cookies,  

 

  so we would have plenty to give to people who enjoy them.  Yes, these are all cookies on my cookie list, but I also place them on the kitchen gift list so that we can give certain people a tin or plate filled with their very favorite cookie.

One person adores Apricot Cakes, so I made a batch of those little loaves and gave her some for Christmas.  I have two in the freezer still and will give her those for her birthday later this month.

Unwrapped

Wrapped for gifting

Special Holiday Fudge is a favorite of my Nevada daughter, so a tin of that winged its way West.

 

And Christmas Granola is another must-make for gifts each year.

The only thing I didn't do on this list was "muffins in festive flavors".  A couple years ago I tried a new muffin recipe every month, with an eye to kitchen gifting.  I had thought I would choose a couple of those for kitchen gifts this year, but that didn't happen, nor did it seem necessary.  You can check "muffins" in the label cloud if you'd like to know more.

So, voila -- the actual kitchen gift list, complete with links for your perusal should you be interested!
