1. Layer all the ingredients in a 1 litre glass or plastic preserving jar in the order the ingredients are listed.
2. Write the following method on a gift label: 'Tip the contents of the jar into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and add 2 beaten eggs, 300ml/½pt milk and 100g/4oz melted butter. Mix quickly and lightly to a soft batter. Divide between 12 muffin cases. Bake at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 for 18-20 mins. Use within 4 weeks.' Attach the label and a wooden spoon to the top of the jar with some raffia or coloured ribbon.

Jars

Look out for attractive clear jars - either glass or plastic - to show off the layers of the muffin mix.

  Just made these muffins. Great recipe, they turned out so good they looked shop bought! The mixture I found made far too much for 12 muffin cases (I had enough to fill an additional 10 mini muffin cases and 2 small ramekins!). I used a mixture of pecan and walnuts and added ground ginger (I had no all spice) and they were fine. I think next time however, I would reduce ingredients by half to fill 12 cases.

  I made about 8 of these to give as gifts. I made them first to try them and they were delicious. They make a great gift and everyone loved them, they even sent me picture texts when they had made them! Great idea, I will use it again this year.

  P.S I could not get tropical fruit mix so I used normal mixed fruit and added dried cranberries to make them ideal for christmas.

  I found the jars, small wooden spoons and raffia in The Range at very reasonable prices.

  Loved the idea of giving the dry ingredients as a gift for christmas but thought I'd try making the muffins first. Total thumbs up from this family. Personally I would add a bit more of the cinnamon and mixed spice, but still lovely. Might try them again with a bit of apple as well. Definately favourite for us though.
