Tasty Holiday Gift Basket of NUTs w/ Manhattan Plums

Naturally one never shows up to a party empty handed.  But time is tight during the holiday season.  We've created an easy to prepare, charming to look at & tasty to eat seasonal holiday gift basket of nuts for the Ron & Lisa November Blog  

Check it out, make up a bunch at once in a jiffy and head out to all of your holiday parties in a festive stress free mood.  There's even a little gift card pdf on that blog page to download to customize your gift to each of your friends, family, acquaintances and associates.  

And here's a little bonus treat for those that have some extra time and would like to add a homemade touch to the basket.  Manhattan Plums.  Assemble several jars in no time at all.  In a small glass jar of about 4 oz size, loosely pack in the highest quality dried plums or prunes.  Add one Tablespoon of fine bourbon & top off w/ a good French sweet vermouth.  Secure the lid, give it a good shake and tie off w/ a ribbon, yarn or string.  These are great w/ ice cream or served w/ a piece of pumpkin, apple or fruit pie.  



Happy Holidays Avanti Style!
