  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.

  I made these today, they're soooo yummy and people keep stealing them. If I made them again I would add a little more of the spices

  Hey, love this idea! I've managed to buy lovely glass 1 litre jars from Asda for £1 each - I know its a bit early to start thinking of Christmas, but at that price, I thought it was worth it!

  I made this as a secret santa gift for a fellow baker at work. She loved it, and made the muffins on Christmas morning. (Only trouble was it wasn't such a "secret" Santa gift - she knew straight away it was from me!).

  This brilliant - I make this year after year for presents, school fair etc. Just make sure you put the ingredients list on the back of the label for allergy issues.

  made some jars up and then went ahead to make a batch myself. When children came in they said "it smells christmassy in here." The muffins went down well. i used the island mix from tesco, thanks to the earlier comment. It is in the wholefood section. Confident to give these as gifts this year.
