Five Star Gift Ideas

That's great to hear! Here are a few gift ideas for your grandson who enjoys fruit preserving:

1. A set of Mason jars: Every preserving enthusiast needs a good set of Mason jars to store their delicious fruits. You can get a variety of sizes and styles to make sure he has what he needs.

2. A preserving cookbook: Whether he's new to preserving or an experienced pro, a cookbook with preserving recipes and tips is always a great gift.

3. Fruit-picking gear: Perhaps your grandson would enjoy picking fresh fruit to preserve himself. Consider getting him a fruit-picking basket, gloves or a hat to wear while he's out collecting fruit.

4. Artisanal preserving kit: Look for a local, handmade kit with organic fruits and preserving ingredients that he can use to make special and unique preserves.

5. Gift certificate to a local farm or farmer's market: Many farmers sell their own fresh fruits on a seasonal basis. Consider purchasing a gift card to a farm or farmer's market so that your grandson can buy the freshest possible fruits for his preserving projects.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
