I've only made biscotti once before. My husband isn't the biggest fan of biscotti (he prefers the soft stuff) but my best friend and mom love them! My best friend would kill for these - she loves both cherries and pistachios! So I may just have to make her a batch of these. Her birthday is next month... and nothing (repeat: NOTHING) beats homemade gifts (my homemade bread last year was the hit of Christmas)!! And thanks for the tip about the spray bottle! The first batch was pretty good but they edges did crumble a bit under my knife. I'll have to try your spraying tip to help out :) I agree about the homemade gifts. They're a win-win - you get to bake, your friends get to enjoy the results. Enjoy - PJH
