I am always excited to find a great recipe using saffron. I have a nice big container of it that was a gift from a friend. I treat it like gold – quite literally – since it is almost as expensive! (Saffron is the world’s most costly spice by weight.)
Don’t saffron pistachio biscotti sound perfect to enjoy with a hot beverage by a fire? I thought so! I made up a batch from a recipe I found in my favorite holiday cookbook (currently) – Holiday Cookies by Elisabeth de Nederlandens.
Now that holiday preparations are getting down to the wire, I am ‘wrapping up’ on all counts! The biscotti is getting packaged on platters or in individual servings as gifts. Other presents are also getting wrapped and placed under the tree!
It is so hard for me to ‘wrap’ my head (pun intended) around the fact that we are in the last week before Christmas! This week there will be a major focus on baking, wrapping, and holiday card mailing! Stop back on Friday to share one last time before Christmas!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope your holiday planning is going well and I hope you are inspired to get your baking and wrapping in check!
Remember to take pleasure in simple things – especially during the holiday season, Jackie xo
