To make the gift jar: In a small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Add mixture to a large (at least 1 quart) mason jar. Top with cornmeal, sugar, dried cherries, pistachios and shredded coconut. Seal jar and gift to a friend with recipe instructions.

To make the biscotti: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pour all ingredients from mason jar into a large bowl. In a separate medium bowl, whisk eggs, oil and lemon zest until combined. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; stir thoroughly to combine.

Shape and pat dough into a roughly 14-by-4-inch log on prepared baking sheet. Bake 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and set. Cool completely.

Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Use a serrated knife to slice log diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Place biscotti cut-side down on parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced at least a 1/2-inch apart. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheet and flipping biscotti over halfway through, until biscotti are golden around the edges. Cool completely.
