We tried a few places and found some of the ingredients at our local Dominic's but the Hazelnuts... they were the fun part. We had to go to a place that my husband and I just don't enjoy, Whole Foods. I know they have a lot of fans and I say more power to you if you do but my husband and I, we prefer the local grocer or deli. As we walk into the location we instantly entered a wall of trendy items that seemed just a little odd like, sustainable flip flops (my flips flops have sustained quite well, thank you very much, I don't need self proclaiming flip flops on my feet) or "conventional" yellow bell peppers to which my husband mentions "what would unconventional bell peppers be?" We then find a worker who helps me locate my nuts, this man was practically running ahead of me as I limped behind him (my leg is still not back to full strength since the work incident) and almost took out some lady with a cart as we came barrelling through the store! As I weighed out the nuts, a man with a cart parked right in front of me and wouldn't move his cart to let me out until he decided if he wanted organic pecans or organic halved pecans. After a little chat with me about which one I thought he should get, he let me through and off we went to the cashier. We of course picked the lane with the one person who has her daughter running back to get her lactose free organic milk..it's milk it should have lactose.
We left the store feeling like we went through a roller derby but with whole Hazelnuts with the skins in hand.
Tonight I created the Brandied Burgundy Cherries and jarred them so they can marinate for "at least 12 hours before use." You can actually jar them indefinitely, which I find quite interesting, I wonder how many of you will be receiving some this year..
