This is served all through the holidays on our table, it is great on biscuits, hot bread, pancakes, waffles, warmed and poured over spice cake, my fil spreads it on his turkey sandwiches, etc. We also make lots to give in gift baskets and have gotten many requests for it the last 11 years. We usually put up 40-50 pints each year.
