This is also wonderful in a good hot cup of coffee. Curl up with this, a blanket, a book, and some Irish Soda Bread on a rainy day. What could be more perfect???" "This has been a favorite recipe of mine for years," says Nicky. "I especially love to bring it as a gift to give to the hostess at holiday parties!" "So good...and so easy," according to REQUINE. "It is best to let it sit for a few days before serving - the flavors blend together much better. But inexpensive to make and tastes better than store bought. Perfect for an addition to the holiday gift baskets!!"
