030124 CAW foodThe biggest St. Joseph celebrations are likely in Italy, where they honor the foster father of Jesus and all fathers on March 19, the Solemnity of St. Joseph. You may have heard of zeppole, a donut-like pastry being served on this day, but have you ever tried Sfince di San Giuseppe? The pastry is pronounced “sfeen-chay,” meaning fried cream puffs. They are like Neapolitan zeppole, but instead of being shaped into rings and filled with pastry cream, they are filled with sweetened ricotta cream and served with crushed pistachios and candied citrus fruits. Try the recipe at ItalyMagazine.com, or stop by an Italian pastry shop near you.
