It is always nice to get Christmas presents but it’s even nicer to give Christmas presents. The only problem is to come up with inventive and useful presents. Also, we are yet to decide whether we give each other presents this Christmas or not. Most of our money goes to curtains, rugs, shelves and lamps for our new home so it’s possible that we’ll buy something nice for the apartment instead of buying something unnecessary (but of course, nice) for each other.

Devil’s jamWe are also thinking of making Devil’s jam (marmalade) before Christmas, it would be a nice little gift to give to people. Devil’s jam is tomato-based hot and spicy jam that can be served with meat and vegetables. I also love it with goat cheese (and chicken). We haven’t made this kind of jam by ourselves before so it’ll be an adventure. If we are successful with the jam, we’ll give jars of Devil’s jam for some of our friends and family members.
