The word kwarezimal refers to quaresima which means the forty days of lent. These were one of the few sweets that Catholics could eat during lent. Kwarezimal are made from ground almonds, flour, sugar, orange flower water, spices and eggs. Once cooked in the oven and cooled down, honey is dizzled over and crushed almonds are sprinkled on top.

Kwarezimal are a sweet of Lent too. ‘’Kwarezimal’’ are my favourite sweet of Lent. They have no sugar in them. The shape of the ‘’Kwarezimal’’ is like a long loaf of bread but smaller in size.  On the top the ‘’Kwarezimal’’ there are nuts.
