Favorite Foods for Gifts
Some of my favorite gifts to give in December are specialty foods and here are three companies that produce yummy holiday treats. For peppermint and wintergreen candy canes that melt in your mouth order from Altamarie's candies in Kingston, New York. This candy-making store has been in business for 94 years and their super fresh hand-made candy canes have been a staple in our home for twenty years. You can phone them at 800 721 7744 or go to www.candycornerusa.com.
In Athens, Georgia there's a gourmet pickle company two years in business called Phickles Pickles. My daughter found it online last December when her father asked for pickled okra for Christmas. Crunchy, hot and sour, this is definitely the best pickled okra we've ever tasted. Phickles Pickles doesn't take credit cards, you email them your order, and they send an invoice with your shipment. Here's the link: http://www.phickles.com/
Hot pepper jelly is one of my favorite condiments and my friend Lee Leach told me about this Los Angeles based company called Jenkins Jellies that makes Hellfire Pepper Jelly. At first it's sweet, and then a hot kick follows, making it great with meats and poultry. Plus this company understands the importance of packaging, which is fantastic, and they include a little spoon to stir the jelly and a personal note from the owner, Hillary Danner. Here's the link: www.jenkinsjellies.com Danner's cousin wrote about this yummy product in her blog GOOP.
