Sugar & Spice Almond Mix: A Deliciously Easy Homemade Christmas Gift

/
0 Comments



I love homemade gifts.  They're inexpensive, useful and personal.  This year, as we've had so many requests for my husband's Candied Bacon recipe, we decided to dress it up a bit, package it pretty and give it away as a special little extra something for people to enjoy throughout the year. 

For some of the harder-to-pick-for males on our lists, we're including this jar with some high quality local bacon (what guy doesn't like bacon?).
Below is the easy-peasy Sugar & Almond Spice recipe and a free printable with the Candied Bacon recipe for tagging your creations. Just print that baby out on cardstock and tie with a pretty ribbon!

The beautiful gift tag is part of Cavallini & Co's Glittered Christmas Bird Collection. Link Below!


Sugar & Almond Spice Mixture
For Bacon, Ham, Toast, and more!


Ingredients:
 1 c. Slivered Almonds - toasted
1 1/2 c. Brown Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Cloves
1/2 tsp. Nutmeg

To Make:
Add all ingredients to food processor and pulse until evenly blended.  

Divide between jars, add the pretty printable and a To/From gift tag and tie with a satin ribbon.  Super easy, right?! 




In addition to making candied bacon, this mixture is delicious on buttered toast, sugar cookies, oatmeal, cereal, even in coffee!

Hey guys! My name's Emily-Grace and I'm so glad you've found my blog! E.G. is all about decor, entertaining, laughter and finding joy in the everyday. The meaning of the name is threefold: 1. "Entertaining" in the sense of providing for guests. ("Hey, come on over for dinner and I'll break out the good mason jars and moonshine...") 2. "Entertaining" is also meant to indicate my love of laughter ("That Emily-Grace. She's hilarious. And she should quite possibly be medicated.") 3. And finally, "Entertaining GRACE" is about the idea of granting each other a certain amount of kindness, mercy, and tenderness. This world can be a tough old bird and the truth is, we're all in it together. When we take the time to celebrate the bright moments we magnify that light to the people around us and, hopefully, add some hope and joy to their lives (as well as our own!).
