Unfortunately these are only for the fall, but I hope you make every day of the season last!

It also taste great blended with a little mayo and Giardiniera mix for the best sandwich spread you’ve ever had in life. Mix it with yogurt for a spicy marinade, or drop a spoonful in ranch dressing to go with a slice of pizza! No matter how you want to use it, it tastes great. My only…
