Cool and store in a closed container. If you planned on gifts of jelly and sauces, you might be in a jam. Time is running out, so instead of fresh fruit, use canned fruit.

Homemade candy is always a welcome gift.
After chilling, cut into squares, or use a metal cookie cutter to cut the fudge into different shapes. It is easy enough to have your kids help make it. With the fudge finished, the quick bread cooling, recipes on the jars of cookie mix, and ribbons on the honey-ginger mustard jars, all that's left is the giving.
