Big Mamma's Italian American Cooking

Spumoni biscotti are definitely an Italian-American invention. I made them the old-school way using maraschino cherries, but you can use either dried cherries, dried cranberries, or fresh cranberries. They will last for several weeks, stored in an airtight container. They aren't too sweet and are perfect for dipping into coffee. 

Get the best Italian sausages you can find.  If you have any leftovers, put the sausages on a roll with spicy mustard or pair them with tomato sauce and cheese for an Italian Sausage Grinder.
