This year I decided to go for it and make homemade presents for 3 people. These recipes all took a couple of hours each to make, and filled 3x400ml jars. If you have some fairly common pantry items, and can get the out of season fruit/veg frozen then they all work out as quite cheap which is nice! 
I made:
Mango and apple chutney
Rhubarb and date chutney (I had a lot of excess chutney with this recipe)
Sweet chilli jam
and....
Clementine, cranberry and whisky marmalade! Now this smelled fantastic as it was bubbling away on the stove so i'll share the recipe here with you.

Ingredients:
600g clementines
4 lemons
225g cranberries (I used dried but fresh/frozen is ok)
1.6kg granulated sugar
150ml whisky

I used this lemon curd in a lemon victoria sponge cake instead of jam, but it's delicious on toast, crumpets and scones as well!
