I Peccatucci di Mamma Andrea

Frommer's Review

This small-scale boutique contains one of the most diverse collections of gastronomic abundance in Palermo, each item artfully wrapped into the kind of gift that will delight recipients back home. Elegant bottles contain liqueurs distilled from herbs or fruits you might never have thought suitable, such as almonds, basil, myrtle, fennel, figs, and rose petals. Jams and honeys showcase the agrarian bounty and aromas of Sicily. There is also an array of peccatucci ("small sins") -- utterly delightful candies made from almond paste, sugar, and liqueur -- that resemble fruit or sleeping cherubs.
