If you’ve grown tired of eating the mass-produced macaroons every Passover, this is a recipe you need to try. It’s easy and quick to prepare. And they’re dairy-free and gluten-free.
We found the recipe, Southern-style pecan macaroons, in Matzo Ball Gumbo, a cookbook by Marcie Cohen Ferris. A professor of American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Ferris’ expertise is the food culture of Jews in the South.
We also show you how to make a delicious dairy-free coffee beverage, similar to cappuccino, that goes perfectly with the macaroons. Serve these at the end of your seder meal or anytime during the Passover holiday!
