For the Love of Licorice: Licorice Lovers Share Sweet Memories

published by Licorice International through Amazon Kindle 

As a five-year old boy in 1935 I would visit my grandpa’s German meat market in Chicago. He and Grandma would cheerfully tend their customers from behind the immaculate display case showing a wide variety of fresh meats and poultry. Grandpa wore his white butcher’s coat with straw cuffs to protect his sleeves from the splatter when he chopped his cuts. He wore a straw hat, white shirt, black bow tie, gold-rimmed spectacles. He had sandy hair and a wonderful cookie-duster mustache. His round face always seemed to be anticipating the next joke. Once in a while he would take out a long slender orange, white, and black carton from his coat pocket and carefully slide out a narrow black stick of hard Y&S licorice, which he placed on the chopping block. Using his cleaver, he would chop off a half an inch and offer it to me before he chopped another piece for himself. The strong rich flavor was scrumptious as the hard licorice melted slowly in my mouth. It was much more satisfying than any ordinary candy sucker, and I savored it all the more because my grandpa shared his licorice stick with me. From then on I was hooked on genuine licorice flavor. I never fail to think of my Grandpa when I partake of real licorice. Now all of my grandkids are licorice freaks.  --  Richard Wolk

Pecan Preserves from the Great San Saba River Pecan Company in Texas combine unique flavors and use the finest fruit and just enough sugar to enchance the essential goodness of the fruit. When the "Licorice Ladies" tasted these preserves at the Fancy Foods Show in New York City this summer, they just knew they had to provide some for their customers. They recently started selling three varieites of these amazing pecan preserves through the Licorice International website and at the retail store in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Cranberry, Chili & Pecan Preserves combine the great taste of pecan with naturally spicy chili peppers and tangy cranberries. Works great as a condiment for chicken salad and turkey sandwiches.
