Recipe News: Gift giving quick bread recipes
Christmas is coming sooner than we realize, with Thanksgiving being so late this year. At this time of year we are decorating our homes with a manger scene and other Christmas decorations, writing Christmas cards, shopping, sewing, making home-made gifts and baking for family and friends or for the elderly who no longer can bake as they used to. Today's recipes are about making quick breads as gifts. I will probably make four double batches using different recipes. Some quick bread recipes say that you can wrap in foil and keep them refrigerated after baking and completely cooled, for two to three weeks, or freeze them (wrapped tightly) for a couple of months. With the amount I make I label some of them "for us", to serve after the holidays when friends stop in for a cup of coffee or to use at a meal. It's a nice treat to serve rather than cookies or candy which they've probably had enough of anyways.
