This Sephardic confection consists of clusters of little biscuits cooked in a honey syrup until they are a rich caramel colour, scattered with crunchy toasted almonds. Pinyonate makes a spectacular presentation arranged on fresh, vivid green lemon leaves arranged on a platter. This sweet treat is truly an unusual one that was made by the Jews of Rhodes Island, which still appears at our festive tables and traditionally for the celebratory bridal shower - Banyo de Novia.
