“Before my neighbor Meghan started her business, she shared her homemade recipes with us,” Oprah wrote.
She added, “I love to drizzle (one of the spreads) on an English muffin or yogurt or ice cream. I also love bringing a jam or preserves as a hostess gift, and with this pretty box set of orange marmalade and raspberry and strawberry spreads, just add a bow and you’re ready to go."
