I was raised with grandparents who were the children of Italian immigrants, and I have the best memories of, every Christmas, being in the kitchen with my grandmother, my mom and my sister, making strufoli. For the unfamiliar, these are little lemon-scented fritters which you then mix in honey while they're still hot, then pile them up on plates in pyramid-type shapes and sprinkle with nonpariels. I will always treasure the memory of rolling out those countless balls of dough and then eating them and being left with honey-coated fingers.
