  Made these this evening. Very easy. not only did they smell amazing but they were so, so tasty. Warm spice mix with mixed fruit. Could not find tropical. I also used 50grams of walnuts instead of 100grams. Was not too sure if my 5year old twins would struggle with too many walnuts. Will make these christmas morning whilst we open presents.

  I saw someone at a Country fayre selling 'cookie jars'. They were £9.00 for 1/2 litre. I actually considered purchasing these. So glad I spotted this instead. My Jars are now all made up and ready to be delivered to friends. 6 jars complete with contents cost me just over a tenner. What a winner!

  Was going to do this last year for gifts but never had the jars, this year been saving the large coffee jars for the mix, tested it last night and very yummy, like the idea of the mixture in jars for others to do, will be adding to my hamper this year, along with possibly other muffin mix ideas.

  Can anyone comment on the "use within 4 weeks" instruction? I was thinking of making these up for the school fayre but its at the end of November so in theory they'd be out of date by Christmas!

  Christmas gifts sorted - will spend a weekend making a load of these up to keep tucked away for those "surprise" moments when someone unexpectedly hands you a gift and you need one ready to return! (PS - 1 litre Kilner type jars are 99p in Ikea at the moment!)

  I saw this recipe and gift idea in a spring 2011 issue of "Baking". Yet another example of the BBC Good Food enterprise recycling recipes. It's a good idea though, and makes excellent muffins.

  I just love this idea!! Just wondered if anyone has tried this with savory ingredients instead? I've already made a huge batch of red onion chutney for my gift hampers and thought it would be a nice accompaniment for some muffins. I was thinking maybe using sun dried tomatoes some bay leaves/dried herbs to make it look good and adding cheese onto the recipe card. what you think? any suggestions would be great! thanks!

  I made the muffins and they are great. I would like to give jars as gift as well, but the ingredients are too much for a 1 liter jar. First I put less dried fruits, next time I made two smaller jars (one for floor, spices and sugar and another for the walnut and fruits).

  I've done these 2 years on the trot now as teacher prezzies - they're brilliant as the kids can make them up themselves and personalise the labels. They were well received and apparently very tasty! I got the jars from Asda - £1.40 each, much cheaper than Lakeland.

  I made these up as Christmas presents after trying out the muffins myself; they were delicious! The 1 litre kilner jars from Ikea are cheap, and the mix fits in perfectly. Instead of 140g tropical fruits, I weighed 100g (from Holland and Barrett) and topped up with 40g of dried cranberries which added more colour and was Christmassy. The finished jars looked great!
