Pine Nut Recipes

Have found this to be most effective with crostini, or some other crispy earthen bread.

This an adapted reciepe that I got from a buddy from Greece. I don't usually use as much mint, maybe just a tablespoon, and to hold the concoctation together better, I do layers of fillo and filling, at least two. I depends on how samll you want to cut the pieces.

Good fall meal

These golden honey-colored sweets are traditional at Christmas in Italy. They are treasured sweets for children and great with after-dinner espresso.

I have been experimenting with recipes for this wonderful confection for a couple of months now. This one here has been the best of the bunch (and it just happens that I made the batch today).

Prep: 20 minutes Refrigerate: 30 minutes Bake: at 350 degrees F. for 25 minutes
