It really pays to devote a few hours on a Sunday afternoon to prepare homemade gifts. Both these recipes come together with minimal hands-on time and at a fraction of the price of shop-bought versions – there’s no sugar thermometer required, either! The sweetness of the rich toffee is tempered by tart barberries and bitter lemon peel, while the marmalade shines with floral meyer lemons and the green notes of fresh bay. Both recipes double up well, if you have many giftees.
