Sicilian Easter Pie
"This is a recipe handed down from my Sicilian Grandmother. Each family has their own way of baking the Easter Pie in the Old Country and with our family and friends it was discussed at length, believe me! This pie is made the week before Easter and offered to guests for at least a week around Easter (it will keep that long). Traditionally, it is left in the pan which it is baked in and is served from the pan. Enjoy!"
