I love to snack on almonds, pecans, peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, pepitas etc... I guess you get the picture that I adore a variety of nuts...but what was I to do when I ran out of my favorite...
A basic shortbread recipe requires nothing more than butter, flour, and sugar. This version is dressed up a bit with the addition of maraschino cherries and a dip in melted white chocolate.
Red wine and kirsch (a brandy made from cherries) are the base for this delicious seasonal drink, which is laced with citrus and warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom and black pepper.
