Duck rillettes, pint
Shredded duck confit with sherry vinegar, mustard and lots of black pepper. Great for serving at a party, eating on toast with pickled prunes, or giving as the best host gift ever.
 
and/or
 
Beet walnut puree + salsa verde, pint jar
Deeply red, bright and amazing, with a cap of salsa verde to mix in, if you like. Equally great with crudité or cheese.
 
Mushroom shallot terrine with truffle, half pint jar
Super special. Contains cream and eggs.
 
Spicy sweet almonds, pint jar
Sugared and tossed with our favorite sweet and hot varietal chiles. A cocktail party essential.
 
Pickled prunes, half pint jar
The ultimate agrodolce: a great foil for anything rich (rillettes, cheese, stew).
 
Fruitcake, six-inch round
Our own white version with dried and hand-preserved fruit and nuts. This year’s includes some very special Filigreen Farms plums, candied grapefruit peel, pistachios, pears and tart cherries, and is soaked in rye whisky and kirschwasser. Singular. Contains eggs, butter, wheat, tree nuts and alcohol.
 
Celery salt, four ounce jar
A great salt to add flavor at any point, but especially to finish poultry or vegetables.
 
Preserved quince, pint jar
Oh, where do we even start? Cocktails, cheese platters, punch, stuffings…
 
Bay nut candy, 3 pieces
The fruit of the California Bay Laurel tree, roasted and crushed with sugar into a candy that tastes like coffee, like chocolate, like leaves. A very rare treat.


Thanks very much for supporting Potliquor! We wish you a cozy and satisfying holiday season.

All our best, 
Jennifer and Laura
