I’m going to let you in on a secret.  I am not a candy person.  I will eat it, but I don’t crave it.  Even chocolate.  I heard you gasp!  I do enjoy a good truffle though.  For the longest time I thought “they are too hard to make”, after all, I’m no chocolatier. 

The amazing Justin and Katie at Marxfoods.com asked me if I’d do a guest post for them using Amarena Cherry Mosto Cotto.  I love the stuff – really I do.  It’s so incredible and so versatile.  It is a sweet syrup of cherries and Moltepulciano grapes.  Oh ya babe.  Don’t put baby in the corner thinking it’s only for sweet treats.  It also makes a killer pan jus for pork tenderloin or a beef roulade.  Are you drooling yet?
