Made my the Redhead restaurant in NYC, Bacon Peanut Brittles is a delicious concoction of peanuts, maple syrup, bacon and spices. This item has been very popular in our store – so popular that we have included it in a few gift baskets.

The flavor do all meld together but the strong flavors might turn a few people off. They make the peanut brittle with just the right amount of cayenne so that it finishes with a little heat – enough to make you want to try some more. It is the perfect snacking food for watching a game or drinking with friends.

The 4oz brown bags retails for $5.95

Pumpkin Pickles from A Taste of the North Shore

This is a new item that is great holiday addition to any table.

Florence Fabricant of the New York Times likes it as well.

A savory and sweet combination of fresh Long Island grown “cheese” pumpkin along with spices and vinegar. Perfect next to the cranberry sauce as a condiment to turkey or ham, helps cut the riches and provides lots of flavor.
