Christmas Neighbor Gift: Honey Jar
If you have never tried creamed honey you need to. It is divine.
Creamed honey has such a light airy/whipped texture and is lovely on rolls, bread, toast, and more.
It also has a really pretty golden-yellow hue.
Bought on sale, you can gift these beautiful creamed honey jars to friends for about $1.80-$2.20 each.
These are so easy to put together.
Each one only takes about a minute or two to assemble.
The attached wooden spoon, gold lid, gold curling ribbon, and jute string all look so pretty together with the creamed honey.
