A few years ago, I included Runamok’s Sparkling Maple Syrup in my Festive Finds gift list. I love that stuff – I gave it as gifts and used it at Christmas morning brunch. I also went into a little edible glitter binge, using all sorts of colors in my holiday cocktails, and beyond. I went a little glitter crazy. Recently, in the run up to the holidays, I came across my stash of … [Read more...] about Sparkling Sugar Plum Jam
