“Lacrime di Sant’Anna”, the tears of Anna, are the traditional dessert prepared in the days of the celebration for Sant’Anna. These sweets remind to the tears of Anna, due to the fact that she could not have sons from Gioacchino, her husband.
These sweets are similar to “strufoli” from Naples and “purceddhuzi” from Salento. They have a long shape and they are prepared from dough of grinded almond and sugar, cooked in a pot.
Once this dough is cold, the tears’ shape is made and then immersed in sugar glace. Once placed in a plate, they are decorated with colourful sugar pills or minced almonds.
