My grandma made these years ago with my aunt. Always made on the weekend following July 4th. and placed in a closet/cupboard kind of ordeal. They were given shots of whiskey almost religiously every Sunday evening until Christmas time. Cant say that I ever remember anyone eatting them. Lets face it..they are pretty,and do cost a fortune to make nowadays, but they taste horrid. I try every one I have ever received just in case I find one that tastes good…… I have one coated in Polyurethane and it is a Christmas display now…funny they never seem to spoil or rot/mold
