Remember, we will have lots of other delectables that make welcome holiday gifts for friends, family, officemates, teachers and hosts: real maple syrup, sorghum molasses, wildflower honey, local apple butter, baby cheesecakes, hand-crafted soaps, handspun wool yarn, and stunning wooden cuttings boards and cookware from our neighbors at Phoenix Hardwoods.
