March 19 is 'San Giuseppe', the day the Church sets aside to honor Joseph, Mary's
husband. San Giuseppe is especially important in Sicily, where people frequently turn to
him for assistance when situations become grim.

Ingredients:
-
-
1 lb (500 grams) honey
4 cups (400 grams) flour
6 ounces (150 grams) ground toasted almonds
Candied orange peel, diced
2 and 1/4 cups (600 ml) water
Directions:-
- Set a pot on the stove and pour a little more than 3/4 of the honey into it, then add the
water and stir to mix well.
-
- Continue stirring over a low flame and add the flour a
little at a time, until you obtain a dough the consistency of bread dough.
-
- Remove the pot from
the fire and let it cool.
In the meantime, heat olive oil in a high-sided pot and when it is hot, fry the dough in
teaspoon-sized balls, removing them as they become golden and draining them on
absorbent paper before arranging them on a serving plate.
Pour the remaining honey over them, diluting it with just a little water if need be and dot
the zeppole with the candied orange peel and almonds.
That's it!
