| I just may be making BISCOTTI THIS WEEKEND!!!!
Just one question, is Marsala wine???? |
 I don't drink....(I'm allergic but can use alcohol for cooking)so I don't know if what I bought is a wine  it says on the bottle Marsala Fine IP made by Perone ...oh wait...yeah on the bottle it says dessert fine wine |
HAHAHAHAAH, that's why I didn't know, I don't drink either  |
| Wonder if you could substitute pomegranate/cranberry juice combo for the wine??
sheepieboss.......who glady drinks wine |
| Well FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first batch of ORANGE Biscotti are in the oven (first baking). I can hardly wait to see how they come out!!!!!!
If these "work" I'll try the chocolate tomorrow.  |
Yay Ginny! The Chocolate is DEFINITELY worth making 
they are the first ones to go when I make the biscotti~ |
| Kim,
How long do they "keep" for? I made a "double batch" and that is really ALOT  . They are delicious But I'm wondering if I should wait til closer to Christmas to make the Chocolate??? |
| Ginny,
I always make a double batch...I honestly don't know how long they last. They never last long enough here to worry about it. I did freeze some the week I made some for hubby's family coming for US Thanksgiving. They were not as hard when they thawed. Some people liked them better because they were not as hard. So you can freeze them... |
| This batch is VERY hard, I may take them out a little sooner next time. I like them like that (better for coffee dipping ) but maybe they should not be quite so hard. But I am going to freeze some in ziplock bag and see how they do. |
