That's a great interest! Here are some ideas for a personalized and meaningful birthday gift for your husband based on his interest in fruit preserving:
1. A deluxe fruit preserving kit: You could purchase a deluxe fruit preserving kit which includes all the tools he needs to make his own jams, marmalades or chutneys. This could include a jam funnel, preserving pan, and sterilizing jars.
2. A book on fruit preserving: There are many great books out there on the topic of fruit preserving. You could find him one that specifically focuses on his favorite fruit or introduce him to a new style of preserving. Consider "The Modern Preserver" by Kylee Newton, which offers recipes for preserving a wide range of foods.
3. A subscription to a preserving magazine: There are many magazines dedicated to the art of preserving. A subscription would be an excellent option for your husband to explore and learn about new and unique recipes.
4. A personalized label stamp: You could get him a personalized label stamp that includes his name or a fun catchphrase, as well as the date and the fruit he has preserved, so he can label all of his homemade jars in style.
5. A personalized apron or chef's jacket: Every great chef should have a personalized apron or chef's jacket! Consider getting one for your husband with his name on it, which he can use when preparing his fruit preserves.
Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
