We don’t know about any of you, but Eva and I sure ate a lot of sugar over the holidays. There was panettone, cassata, pandoro, cantucci… and that’s just the beginning! Maybe, like us, you still have a sweet tooth but are looking for ways to satisfy it without turning to refined sugar.
A lot of traditional, Italian sweets were invented when sugar was a rare luxury. Home cooks had to get creative when sweetening their desserts, and today Eva’s going to show us some of these alternatives with some treats made with NO sugar!

In the spirit of Zia Maria, we are very intentionally not posting a recipe for Pane Schiavuniscu. It must be made by eye! Try it!

COTTO DI FICHI (FIG SYRUP) – https://piccolosgastronomia.com/products/solandia-fig-vincotto-cotto-di-fichi-750ml-bottle
A more commonly available alternative is “Saba,” made from grapes instead of figs. While it will obviously change the flavor, it can definitely be used as a substitute: https://amzn.to/3vDkeoH
