Being a poor student I want to cut down on the price of xmas whilst still giving people nice presents. I figure making some foodie presents is a way to go. Here are my ideas:

1. Feta cheese in olive oil. I was thinking of adding peppercorns, some garlic cloves and maybe some thyme.

2. Chillie oil, buy lots of dried chillis and soak them in olive oil.

3. Chutney, the only recipe I know is Aubergine and Orange (so tasty), which is actually my mums recipe.

All these are preserved in different ways, which I think is necessary.

Any body else got any ideas? Of couse all the above will be put in a nice kilner jar or something like that. (Anyone know any UK suppliers of these things?)
