[@kellyrutherford3451]

I'm doing a homemade holiday gift giving. So I am doing lots of canning for gifts and I am also making homemade beeswax wraps for gifts as well. 🥰🥰🥰

[@rstaf3327]

Melissa is preparing our dinner 😍

[@AnnabelleKerz]

I started my first jar of vanilla extract! I can't wait to smell it in a few weeks 😍 Cookie mixes were next on my list!

[@celinebridges7817]

@@kellyrutherford3451 Hey Kelly can you share how to do your beeswax for gifts Thank you Blessing 👩‍🌾

[@celinebridges7817]

Hey 😃 What a fun idea for cakes . I just brought some cakes mixes Which I can use up first . And I’m going to try your cakes mix recipe.. What a super easy mix and love to have them ready for cup cakes or cakes .. this is a great way to put up mixes .... If I vacuum seal them can they last a while for future use .. Thanks you sooooo much .. 😃 can’t wait for cornbread and other fun mixes .. To have in my pantry .. take care 🥰 Blessing 👩‍🌾

I made this cake and it is delicious. I added about 1/4 cup of oil to it along with the stick of butter, and used 4 eggs. The last one I made I added a box of lemon pudding and zest of half of a large lemon. Topped it with a lemon glaze. This is my Easter cake. Don't hesitate to use this cake mix it turns out really good.

[@michellehiggs7764]

I have a cheat sheet in my kitchen cabinet that gives me the instructions of items on my shelf. For example, I have a "hamburger helper" mix and other similar mixes that need instructions. It's easy to open the kitchen cabinet and there are my instructions. No need to go to the basement and reapply the instructions. Hope this tip helps. Love your videos.

[@1870s]

Oh geeze if only I was that put together 😅

[@PaulaJoDavis]

I use a small binder for my instructions! It sits in my kitchen, so when I need it, I just pull it out! I guess great minds think alike! Shalom and Blessings from Missouri.

[@HomesteadDNA]

This year I have really realized how important it is to be able to make things from scratch. Your channel has been a great resource for this. Thank you!

[@PaulaJoDavis]

We don't celebrate Dec 25th. We do, however, celebrate Thanksgiving, so this will be perfect. Thank you! Shalom and Blessings from Missouri.

[@rheagiboney2790]

Pre-made cake mix. Thanks so much for sharing Rachel and keep them coming. Muffins, brownies cookies. Whatever you got. Love it.

[@1870s]

Glad you like them!

[@briannatuttle1028]

Had to come back and find this because my toddler wants to make peach upside down cake but I don’t have any yellow cake mix! So thankful you posted this last year!

[@fallenangelwi25]

So many people forgot how to cook and these are nostalgic gifts in the way that they remind people of what they should be doing

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Anything in a Mason jar makes a charming gift! 🎅😃🎅

[@denisebrady6858]

Well Rachel I am back another year later- you have to re-do this video to refresh everyone. I, today have used my last jarred one & of course about to make another lot. I add sultanas to mine (and make sure I roll them in flour so they don't sink to bottom of cake). My husband is not a big sweet eater but when I make your cake recipe I think he hides it for himself. LOVE IT Cheers Denise- Australia

[@cleotaylor1860]

Thank you so much for sharing. I have been canning for years. I tell my friends and family if they want a refill they have to bring the jars back. Haha.

[@madesimplyathome953]

I made this cake just to make sure it turned out okay! It is amazing!!! Thank you Rachel! I can’t wait to give it to serve it to friends and family!

[@vicky52557985]

add a little ribbon and a recipe card and you got the gift!!! love the idea

[@vjohnson2400]

Three traditional British Christmas cakes made (heavy fruit cake) 1 for us 2 for gifts for elderly neighbours. Now all I have to do is remember to feed each of them every week with a tablespoon of brandy for that extra special flavour. The icing gets put on just before the Christmas holidays.

[@dileklemons2888]

Hi Rachel what a great idea can you please also share the chocolate cake and brownie mixture too 😊 😀 please pretty please my life just got easier seeing this 🙏 ❤ thanks a bunch

[@pamelaquander8485]

Finally someone did this right. and you added the ingredients. on your video. Thank you. ❤😊

[@wahnitafinnegan4410]

Really enjoying these videos on building up my pantry. Yes like going to Amish bulk store, my husband and I save up and then go shopping. We have a mini van so we take a big cooler and have a ball. Last time spent 800.00 dollars buying sugar , oatmeal , cases of sweet potatoes, apples all kind of spices and etc. the poor car was sitting low. We live in South Jersey so we go to Lancaster, Pa couple hours away. (It is a beautiful organic store.) We garden and can but this year didn't get any sweet potatoes in, almost done canning from our garden just doing jams and jellies. Trying to get up my nerve to can meats. Well take care and keep on teaching us. 😄

[@clee3521]

Wish we had an Amish store here in south Louisiana

[@jennwatson74]

Would you mind sharing the name? I live about an hour from Lancaster so that would be a nice day trip.

[@dancnluc1]

Love going to the Amish store in Bethel PA. Last time I was there I found canning jars. We always buy our potato seeds from them.

[@patricetaylor814]

I finally had an opportunity to bake this mason jar cake mix today. Fabulous! Thank you. Next, will be your spice. I will never buy a box ever.

[@WilletteB]

Rachel, I enjoy any video I've ever seen you make. I haven't done this in a few years, but one year I did cookie mixes and my family loved it. My life has changed considerably since then, and it would be nice to have these available on my shelf. Thank you so much for the tutorial. Blessings, sweet lady! 🙂

[@dallen4482]

It’s in the oven! Can’t wait to enjoy it with strawberries & whipping cream!

[@grekahg3938]

Nice ideas! I made a hot cocoa mix and thought it was good but looking for that GREAT recipe! Can’t wait to hear yours

[@MimsysGarden]

Omgeee I NEED the spice mix recipe today ... hubby has been wanting a good one and I’ve been procrastinating because I didn’t want to buy a mix! Lol

[@jchai1343]

Yes I agree I can hardly wait for the spice mix ,thank you Rachael ,you and Tod always have wonderful information !!

[@kathleenconte3360]

Yup, making muffin mix to put in my jars. Then can add the fruit on hand as well as all the other wet ingredients. The plums and apricots are on the trees n just waiting for them to ripen. Then in winter apple and cinnamon. Trick Rachel taught me, freeze them to help with self control.

[@rachelschmaltz3092]

Oh my gosh I have been praying for God to show me something for my class at our faith builders co-op. I had my son make one today and I put one in a jar. Oh my gosh so yummy. I am so going to make lots more after I get more baking powder lol. God bless keep up the great inspection

[@shinkie1200]

Ha ha I ran out of baking powder too.😅

[@lolitabonita08]

in Houston the thrift stores charges 6 dollars for each jar used and no tops...it is cheaper to buy them new..

[@denisebrady6858]

What a fabulous idea- Thanks Rachel I will try this as well as I am always quickly throwing together a banana cake if I know friends are coming. Cheers Denise - Australia

[@lisawalters5482]

Yum. Thanks so much! I love the idea. God bless. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@BootsandBountyHomestead]

My mom got me a Mason Jar gift giving recipe book probably 20 years ago and I've always wanted to do it, just never have. I just might this year! Lol Great ideas rachel. Thanks!!

[@rough-hewnhomestead5737]

I love this idea--not only for gift giving, but for my own pantry. How nice to keep some of these on hand instead of store bought. (PS....YT unsubbed me from your channel unbeknownst to me. Grrr at YT! I re-subbed!) God bless!

[@willow3310]

What a great way to stock some dry goods!

[@inbedduringcovid3005]

This just made me think of a jalapeno cheddar cream cornbread mix in a jar. Omg and I think it would be good for weight lost to have it on hand for those moments where you know you want something just because it's not there or ready. If sweets are ready in jars it seems easier to say I'm good until another time lol. No rush since its already peacefully prepped and put away lol. John 15:5 King James Version 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Amen

[@pamelaquander8485]

I have a air fryer and ordered items to make a different types of foods and a cake basket. my niece's son loves doing cooking activities with me, I'm a retired day care worker and i fo monthly activities with him each month. your video doesn't have a whole lot of yep, yap. you go straight to the recipe. 😊

[@tabathariggs5751]

Yes please for the brownies and coco mix.

[@kaesch2770]

Yes! Love these ideas for gifts. Can’t wait to hear the other recipes.

[@cancanlady]

Planning on prepping Christmas gifts with this using our grandma's old canning jars.

[@malva4838]

This is so perfect! For my pantry and as gifts. Thanks so much, I look forward to seeing more!

[@cancanlady]

Love this as a gift idea !

[@whiskeywomanwhisks]

🙌🏻I’ve been wanting to get my dry mixes together! I have quite a to do list🤪. Thanks for sharing your ideas and recipes!

[@barbgardiner5719]

Yum, will make today!

[@krisjanagorham9146]

Love these! I'm really looking forward to the homemade cocoa! ...and spice cake 😁

[@SalLeeHolland]

It's hard to even find spice cake mix in the stores. Is that only a season kind of mix, that comes out in the winter?

[@Brittleigh2111]

Oh me to. Can't wait🤗🤗

[@brandibizzle3676]

I look forward to the hot chocolate mix! I’ve been looking for a good one that my kids actually like

[@sandynorlock4056]

Thank you for sharing, this is a great way to save money and great gifts ti give family and friends.

[@hellenjones5129]

I love this it’s always cookie mix never seen cake mix cant wait to try .. thank you for video

[@stevendowden2579]

enjoyable video

[@maryannlarsen1727]

Yes please, can't wait for the rest of the mixes

[@VeganEmelda]

I love this idea! I hate using box mixes, and this would be easy to have on hand. Great co-workers gift idea, too.

[@EGGstravagantkitchen]

Would love to see more things like this. Maybe brownies!

[@dorykoszewski3162]

These would be great to have on hand. Thank you.

[@emilylong9887]

Can’t wait to try this! Making dinner for my moms birthday and needed a yellow cake recipe anyways. Going to make a few for the pantry too! Thank you for sharing.

[@theresaraddatz-melancon9334]

Can’t wait for the next video!

[@hopeburbo4372]

Thanks for sharing, Will you do a Brownie Mix? I did do a search on your channel and nothing showed up, looking forward to it when you make a video of your version of Brownie Mix in a Jar

[@lorisilva10784]

Thank you! This is very helpful. Gonna try this recipe before I make a bunch of jars up!! Looking forward to the other recipes!!

[@cindygreen6900]

I made your homemade hot chocolate and it is crazy good. Can't wait to try this

[@Funky_Fairy]

As someone who lives in the UK and it’s had to get pudding mix a homemade no heat version would be fab if your looking for suggestions 😘

[@1870s]

Oh I've never made it myself, but I do love some good warm homemade pudding

[@mawpatti]

what about chocolate cake mix...do you have a recipe for that one too? I cant wait to try the vanilla one you just made! thanks so much!

[@oneatatime8677]

Love this idea. Looking forward to the next mix in a jar.

[@jackiehorsley9263]

I won't be doing much prep this holiday season we are going to my mom and dad's house but I do enjoy the mason jar cake mixes I used to make them for gifts

[@02271953me]

Would love to find a great hot cocoa mix recipe. Thanks for sharing, Rachel!

[@laurielyon1892]

Wonderful idea! I can’t wait for the others!

[@PegsGarden]

I wanted to come on here and say I just made this today for my kids and it came out sooooo good and moist, I had to cook it a little longer than what you suggested but oh my goodness I will never buy box cake mix again!! Thank you so much :0)

[@1870s]

Wonderful! So happy you enjoyed!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

This looks easy and fun. I’m wondering about getting powdered eggs, milk, butter and vanilla and adding those in? That would make it even easier to make a cake! I wish my relatives weren’t so sugar free, gluten free, dairy free, etc. It makes it hard to give them home canned and home made gifts.

[@apiecemaker1163]

Give them a jar of green beans or soup mix. 💜

[@candacethompson2521]

Great idea. I can't wait until the cocoa mix. Thanks

[@laurielyon1892]

I watched this again and this time I think I will mix everything up in a bowl and then put into the jar because there are times when I make a cherry dump cake, I only need half of a cake mix and this way I can just use half at a time.

[@jenniferisachsen1841]

Thanks so much for this video. It will work out perfect for me for gifts. I have a broken arm and won’t be able to make the gifts I planned on for Christmas. I am looking forward to your other videos on cornbread, spice cake mix, and hot cocoa mix. Thanks again❤️

[@thesuburbanhomesteader7636]

This is great, thank you! Hoping you'll do a chocolate cake recipe too!

[@elizabethcopeland3026]

Have you ever made a mix with dry milk powder, powdered eggs, etc? I would love to make these.

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

Super cute idea Rachel. Thanks for sharing!

[@dancnluc1]

What a great ideal. Know what I need to start doing!

[@sidneythompson159]

Great idea's-thanks so much. Patiently waiting for your other jarred recipes 😊

[@1870s]

Next one, is two days away, I think.

[@jessicamoon9195]

Add 1/2 a cup of cocoa powder and it makes a really good chocolate cake, I split the batter in half. Froze half and baked the other

[@debbiealtman4572]

I’m saving this so I can make these. Love the idea.

[@briannatuttle1028]

Love this! Can not wait to see the rest! You guys sure do brighten my day! 💓 much love from the yoop!

[@kaciframe528]

Thank you so very much for sharing your videos!!!!!!!! I enjoy all of them!!!!!!

[@kimyates3583]

Wow great idea! Thanks!

[@lorijensen4387]

My husband has been after me to make a hot cocoa mix for him to enjoy. Looking forward to knowing how you make yours.

[@annettewise3622]

For your own pantry use, could you laminate the label and use a clip with a magnet and attach it to the lid? Can’t wait for the hot chocolate recipe.

[@patriciasweet9102]

I would laminate it use hole punch and put it on jar with it attached to elastic

[@cassaroll-80]

I heard it is around 7 Mondays left until Christmas, so you are not wrong, thinking it is fast approaching.

[@sueantonich5455]

Can’t wait to see more!!!

[@janetlavoie2441]

Excellent!

[@nannygeorginasmith3938]

Great 💡 idea. Thanks for sharing 👍😎🎄

[@skippyjones2077]

Such a wonderful idea Thank you 🙏

[@joysikes3001]

Great idea !!! Thanks for sharing this tip !!! xxo

[@Rhasphody]

This sounds fantastic, I’m going to make a few!

[@kimlettau4167]

This was awesome! Thank you for sharing this! ❤️

[@valeriepillon6960]

I’m looking for gift ideas, canned stuff mostly, even if it’s small batch stuff made from the farmers market since my garden is done. Because I don’t want to give away my cowboy candy lol! Does that make me a bad person? I have a friend who really likes her pork chops and applesauce so I thought about making a variety of savory chunky applesauces with rosemary and/or herbs de Provence etc in single serving sizes.

[@SalLeeHolland]

May be you could do some herbal teas? They are always so nice to get as a gift. They could be some you grew, or if you know what is ok, pick some while out hiking, and dry them. Put them in tiny jars or even bigger if you have a lot.

[@vjohnson2400]

Apple sauces sounds a wonderful gift. If your friend likes apple, maybe a jar or two of apple butter too. I’m a recent convert to apple butter and I love it.

[@kathysheesley463]

Love this idea! Ty

[@willow8094]

Smart for the pantry ! Love this

[@karenhibberd9426]

Awesome idea❤️ will be waiting for more

[@bethmitchell6981]

Would you by chance know how much cocoa to add for a chocolate cake? Fantastic idea and I am definitely going to do it. Also are you using 1/2 gallon jars? God Bless

[@libbylauderdale4255]

Great idea!!!

[@nellieann9661]

Thank you

[@oldmarriedcouple1]

I love making up homemade jar mixes. It’s great for kids to put together and to make. 😊 I love your jars and lids on those three jars. They look like old jars and lids yet brand new. Where did you get them? Thank you for all you do!!

[@1870s]

They are "gift jars" bought from a chain store called Ollie's
