What are you making/preserving yummy?

Well I have been thinking about making edible gifts such as biscotti and putting them in kilner jars... but eventually I will need to preserve the contents of my plot won't I. I don't know anything about how to do that and may therefore buy a book.

I made my first ever batches of chutneys last year.  In fact that is how I discovered this site (searching for recipes).  I really enjoyed it, and am looking forward to doing it all again this year...and have learnt a few things from mistakes I made.......like not making enough chilli and tomato chutney.  
I want to make hampers for Christmas gifts this year, I didn't have enough of anything last year.  If you try any interesting recipes let me know!!  I don't make many jams, I prefer to use the fruit in alcohol, or I may try to bottle this year.
