Rhubarb-Berry Crumbles
Crumble: A British name for a blend of berries or other fruit with a textured sugary topping, often with oats; the result is all but synonymous with a crisp.

No problem: bake these crumbles in small mason jars instead.

Holiday Oatmeal Cookies

To create a cookie ‘kit,’ layer dry ingredients in a mason jar, cover the lid with gingham fabric, attach a wooden spoon and a copy of the recipe, and tie with raffia.”
