We’re turning the spotlight on food-centric gifts over the next 12 days leading up to Christmas. Fruit, coffee, cheese, kitchen gadgets, various cuts of meat, jellies, cakes, even specialty olive oils will be part of the mix. Whether you’re looking to enhance your holiday spread, or surprise your favorite uncle (who also happens to be a fantastic cook), we’ve got something to whet your appetite.
Empire Baking Company
The Dallas-based bakery is offering specialty sweets exclusively for the holiday season. Highlights include ginger molasses cookies, cranberry and currant scones, cinnamon roll danishes, pecan pie, gingerbread, and slices and/or loafs of pumpkin bread. Need something sweet and sticky to spread atop your holiday bread (or spoon into your mouth)? They have a selection of jellies and jams from JJ&B Jellies Jams & Butters. I recommend the cranberry-cherry conserve, the jam is bursting with dried sweet cherries, fresh cranberries, raisins and pecans.
