I have a billion jars under my sink (because I'm turning into my mother :doh:). I have decided I shall rid myself of the jars by making food gifts in jars for stocking fillers for my family for Christmas.
I make awesome preserved lemons and some of the jars are just the right size for one lemon.
What else?
I have heard talk of cake/cookie recipes in jar........
Sand art brownies are great.
Hot chocolate (chocolate powder/pieces, marshmallow etc...) small bottle of baileys on the side
Lemon curd.
Check out Pintrest!
I know you said food - but what about bath soak type things too?
I just found this blog http://www.tipjunkie.com/homemade-gifts/gifts-in-a-jar/ and some of those ideas are cool!:
Milk Soak Recipe
Makes approx 6 x 100g Jars of Bath Milk
You will need:
200g Goat's Milk Powder
200g Epsom Salts
100g Sea Salt
50g Bicarb soda
50g Corn flour
Dried Petals or Herbs of your choice
10ml Essential Oil of your choice
Small Airtight Glass Jars
Directions:
Sieve the goat's milk powder and the corn starch into a large bowl. This will remove any lumps and give the bath milk a soft, light texture.
Add the Epsom salts and the Dead Sea salts and fold in gently until well combined.
Place the sodium bicarbonate in a separate small bowl and add half of the essential oil by dripping it evenly over the surface of the powder. Blend until the powder looks smooth with no lumps.
Add the rest of the oil and blend again.
Add the scented sodium bicarbonate to the salts and fold in until evenly mixed.
Spoon into the jars adding a few dried petals or herbs if you wish.
The bath milk can be used straight away or stored until needed.
My sister made lovely homemade vanilla essence by putting a vanilla bean in a bottle and simply adding vodka! Lovely for cooking and in my smoothies :-)

I love jars too ;)
I'm doing Apricot Jam & Strawberry Jam, I want to do a cookie mix too but lost the recipe I intended to use: google or pinterest sorts you out for this though.
