About


My Mother passed a day after Christmas - making this in honor of her as it was one she made for years during Christmas. She used 1 1/2 cups ground pecans, walnuts, and Brazil nuts, 1/4 cup sugar, a 1/8 tsp salt, with the egg white for her crust.  Thanks Brenda for the recipe - I pulled it out to make and was undertain of what she had written for the other ingredients. I was so happy to find something to help me translate.... it was a real blessing.
