They are the ideal Christmas gift solution: an attractive, classy yet affordable stocking filler gift, addition to a home-made food hamper or a festive treat for hard-to-buy for family and friends who love food and who love to cook.
Giving a foodie gift at Christmas is guaranteed to be well received. It’s a sure-fire success and a guaranteed top choice.
Or, perhaps for a co-worker you know very well and are certain Opies will be a very welcome gift for them.
And if you want to be a little more opulent, then they will also make a welcome addition to your own, personally selected, self-styled hamper. Or a great luxury Christmas hamper for your spouse, parent or grandparent.
Opies new range of four popular fruits which are generously preserved in exceptional quality Luxardo® liqueur are presented in sleek and stylish Kilner jars.
Choose from succulent, delicious peaches lovingly steeped in a 12-year old Luxardo® brandy, indulgent and luxurious black cherries soaked in Luxardo® Kirsch, rich and opulent baby pears drenched in Luxardo® Amaretto and sharp and intense Forest Fruits covered in a Luxardo® mulled gin.
My personal favourite is the baby peaches in Kirsch,but my wife and I love all of them very much indeed.
This affordable Christmas food gift is just £14.95 and is great to keep in reserve for that last-minute forgotten gift and will be deemed much more thoughtful than a 'recycled’ bottle of wine!
Besides making an attractive, popular and thoughtful gift, these boozy fruits can single-handedly revolutionise your festive menus.
Not only making an ideal, convenient, standby dessert served with a dollop of double cream or clotted cream, or perhaps generous scoop of luxury ice cream, they can replace fresh or canned fruits to significantly increase the flavour intensity of a dessert.
You can use them to boost up an otherwise humble crumbles captivating, titivate trifles or more besides.

And as these are from Opies, you can be certain all the fruits are packed by hand and specially paired with exceptional Luxardo® spirits, which is internationally respected and loved and whose legacy has been appreciated by royalty and the world’s top bartenders alike.
To make the absolute most of the jar and to avoid any waste, once you have used the first-rate fruits there are lots of ways to use the leftover precious Luxardo® syrup too. For carefully curated cocktails, mix the syrup with a little water to make boozy ice cubes, or for parties warm and combine with gelatine and champagne to create grown-up jellies.
For a savoury twist, mix with a little cornflour to thicken then drizzle over meats like roast duck or pork to make an extraordinary glaze. (To be perfectly honest, I'm always tempted to just glug them down, so I'll take this advice to make the most of them in our Christmas time cooking and drinking!)
The stylish Kilner jars are reusable and have a whole multiplicity of onward uses. Once cleaned and dried out they are perfect for safely storing herbs, spices, nuts and dried fruits as well as making a wonderful able decoration filled with tea lights or fairy lights.
