Fruit Jar Hostess Gift

     Many of you will be going to New Years Eve parties this week and it's always nice to take a gift to the hostess. This simple but elegant gift will be appreciated by not only the hostess but possibly even the guests.

Here's what you'll need:

  • Dried or candied fruit.
  • An air tight jar, 1 quart or bigger.
  • Some ribbon.
One of the easiest ways to get dried fruit is to go to the bulk bins at your local store. Select several fruits that will look nice together and taste good as well. Here are some suggestions;

Apricots - Dates - Raisins - Crasins
Cherries - Pineapple - Cantaloupe - Papaya
Mango - Oranges - Banana Chips - Coconut Chips
Apple Slices - Walnuts - Pecans

Layer three or four types of fruit in an air tight jar and put the lid on.
Add a ribbon for a festive decoration.

Take it with you to the party and hopefully the hostess will let everyone share in the "fruits of your labor" ;-)

We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
