Red Wine, Moscatel and Fig Vinegar Reduction Sampler

Red Wine, Moscatel and Fig Vinegar Reduction Sampler

If you're looking for a gift that's low fuss and low-budget, yet adds vibrant color and irresistible flavor to a Thanksgiving table, these vinegar reductions from Prisca are a life-saver. Each is a rich, seductive sauce containing chunks of fruit, and just a drizzle adds a lavish twist to roast meats, sauces, cheeses and pates. If there's some left over after the main meal, mix into yoghurts, pastries and other desserts and sweets.

Of course, there's more than one way to add a little color and sophistication to your host's big do, and these French Almond Macaroons have proven to be one of our most popular gifts. With flavors like vanilla, chocolate, raspberry, lemon, pistachio and coffee, each one demonstrates exactly what a macaroon should be: firm and crisp upon first bite, then melting and cloud-like as it dissolves in your mouth. No thanksgiving meal will be the same without them!
