This is a simple recipe that tastes as wonderful and authentic as the dessert you would get in a German restaurant. I prefer to use strawberries, but anything goes with this one! You can make smaller mounds to have meringue cookies ...a low-fat snack!

Hot and Spicy Pecans
These spicy pecans aren't too hot, but you can leave out the red pepper if you like them milder, or increase it to taste. These make a great snack or appetizer for the holidays, or anytime.
Italian Fig Cookies
This recipe for Italian fig cookies has been handed down through my mother's family for years. My grandmother brought it with her from Italy in the early 1900's. My mom taught me the recipe and now I am the designated person in our family to make these delicious fig cookies. This is a very high honor - so they must be as good as my Grandmothers' cookies! Some people call these homemade fig Newtons. They are a tradition at Christmas and are wonderful with a hot cup of coffee.
