For the last few years I have made it a tradition to offer everyone food gifts from my Tuscan Garden. All year around I search for different containers so each year my collections have different jars. I also always make different collections, this year I made flavoured sugars and salts. Flavoured sugar is brilliant to add a touch of fruit or other tastes to desserts, and you only need very little to give the flavour. Also it makes life easy so when a recipe calls for some zest, you use a tid bit of the flavoured sugar and don't have to wash, clean, zest or worry if you have the fruit at home. The zest is dried in the oven at very low temperature and then mixed with the sugar. The cinnamon and vanilla I obviously have to buy because I don't grow it.
