My MIL was so generous with her family recipes, and I’m lucky enough to have a choice of several Easter pies (all of which are delicious and requested by family and friends year after year). Not making any this year since only the two of us, but what a gift she left. I pass it on as I can.
Torta di Ricotta (ricotta, like cheesecake but with Italian fruit flavorings), Pizza Rustica (basket cheese which luckily you can still find; plus tons of Italian cold cuts, sausage and cheeses) and finally Grain Pie which is almost the same as the Ricotta but with wheat grain. If anyone ever wants the recipes just let me know, I’m sure she would be pleased for me to share!
