Gelato Recipes for the Holidays

Here are a consolidate of great gelato recipes that you should check out for the holidays this year. As I said before, I think gelato is going to be America's next Food craze and you should introduce your friends and family to gelato this Holiday season. Why give someone else fruitcake, or bring a pumpkin pie to Thanksgiving dinner.

Everyone will love your homemade gelato and will appreciate that you put in the exertion to make it yourself. Gelato makes the exquisite low-budget holiday gift. Just put your gelato in a tupperware container, wrap it with a bow and include a card (with the gelato formula of course). I give homemade gelato to all of my friends. Many look forward all year to receiving my gelato. I go the extra mile and use an elegant glass package instead of tupperware. My friends get a heart felt gift, they get to keep and use the package it came in, and they can try to duplicate it because I include the gelato recipes. Lots of my friends have gotten into gelato developMent after receiving a gift from me.
