Here is a recipe that may be the perfect  holiday solution to a pickup snack for when guests arrive. Only three ingredients are needed: port, pecans and sugar. Port Pecan Halves may be also be a perfect gift to give a friend or neighbor. Craft stores like Michaels and Jo-Ann’s have holiday gift containers that are easy to fill. Grocery stores have easy to use plastic storage containers. Add a red bow and the gift will be delightful. The recipe is available on the Wine Trail Traveler website at http://winetrailtraveler.com/recipes/appetizer10.php .

While at the moment I don’t have pecans in the kitchen, I have a large bag of almonds. Hmm…wondering if I can substitute almonds for pecans.

Happy Holiday Cooking with wine!

Cheers, Kathy
