Anise Extract
Anise extract is especially popular for Italian Christmas cookies.
Oddly enough, we first started stocking this extract in response to many fishermen, who swore they caught more fish when they put it on their bait! In addition to this use, anise extract is used for homemade Galliano or Absinthe liquors, many varieties of biscotti, anise tuiles, pfefferneusse peppernut cookies and pizelle. A few drops can be used to replace ground or whole anise seed in a recipe.

Strawberries are too delicate to be picked by machine. The perfectly ripe ones even bruise at too heavy a human touch. It hit her then that every strawberry she had ever eaten--every piece of fruit--had been picked by calloused human hands. Every piece of toast with jelly represented someone's knees, someone's aching back and hips, someone with a bandanna on her wrist to wipe away the sweat. Why had no one told her about this before?
