One of the more popular and refreshing desserts Bearfort’s sweet calzone takes the cake. Sweet calzone is a light but very rich treat and a perfect match with a great cup of coffee. Yes — as you will see I make quite a bit of it so if you are expecting a crowd this will be perfect. I tend to wrap the slices and give to friends when visiting as I do not like to go empty handed. It is a much welcomed treat.
20 pounds ricotta cheese – well drained
30 eggs
3 1/2 hands of sugar
Juice of four lemons
1/2 bottle Anisette

Cautionary Note: Cooking by hand – is just that – cooking by hand. I cook by hand so my recipes are generally a hand of this and a hand of that. A finger is as much of that item that you can hold on top of an outstretched finger. A palm is that which you can hold in the palm of your hand. A hand is that which you can hold on your hand flat with fingers stretched out. – come on folks — work with me here…. set the measuring cup aside, put down the measuring spoons and get cooking.
