How long will these dips/relishes stay fresh?

I hate to say this…but unless you KNOW that they will either be eating these things themselves, or having guests within the five day window…you might want to consider something with a longer “shelf life”, or a non-food item.

What if the friends are going out of town?

We receive a ton of food gifts during the holidays and I’m sad to say…much of it spoils before eaten. Last year we got four fruit baskets. We tried to give the fruit to our neighbors but THEY also were swamped with fruit.

We do love the canned jellies, and cookies we can freeze for a later date. We also really like things like pumpkin breads, banana bread, or pie…again…all can be frozen for a later date.
