Author Notes

I love this as a present because it is so easy and very quick to make. So, it can be a last minute present that feels like you invested time and thoughts. Plus it will last quite a while, so your gift getter will be able to enjoy it with so many things as a condiment (cheese, fish, chicken, even as a nice addition to simple salad dressing) and it will keep bring back sweet holiday memories for a while. —Cordelia

This is utterly gorgeous. I just happen to have all of the ingredients on hand, so I'm going to make some of this up for my boys to spread on crostini (knowing the younger one, he'll pop a sliver of Manchego on top), when they return for the holiday break. Thank you for posting this!!

Thanks for the lovely words. You are so welcome. I hope you'll have great holidays together. I agree with your younger one, it is best served with cheese :)
