Thanks for the recipe. The only question that I have is: where did you get that sweet Santa Claus glass jar? I would pay good money to get a couple of them for my kids. Heck, even I will use it for my own use. I just love them.
I know, I love that glass too! Unfortunately I found it at one of our local Home Goods stores so I can’t get you a link!
