RARRARARARARARARAAAARRARRAARRAR Gifts From The Kitchen Gifts from the kitchen are always welcome. Here are some delicious suggestions to make for family, friends and for yourself. Steamed puddings are tradi- tional Christmas fare but many are too rich after a very filling dinner. This cranberry pudding is much lighter and can be steamed either conven- tionally or in the microwave. It can be made ahead and re- frigerated for up to three days. For longer storage, it should be frozen. For gift giving, include in- structions for storage and re- heating, and wrap in a pretty ribbon. If you include the pud- ding bowl as part of the gift, wrap the cooled pudding in plastic wrap and replace into the clean bowl. Cut a circle of festive cloth and tie with a bright ribbon, a Christmas de- coration and the instructions. Punches are not only good to have on hand for holiday entertaining but also make thoughtful gifts. Here is a re- cipe for Punch Spice Bag that adds flavor to three tea-based punches -- a hot red or white wine punch plus a_non- alcoholic cold punch using either red or white sparkling grape juice. Make the Punch Spice Bag and hang around the neck of a bottle in a small gift bag along with the recipe.
