According to Mrs. Palazzo, a first-generation Italian Montrealer, the people from Guardialfiera, Molise, only used honey when they made this recipe. Later when they come to Montreal some second-generation Italians started to use both honey and sugar, but the traditional method of doing this recipe only called for honey. Photo: Mary Melfi.
