Sweet Italian Easter Pies

This pie recipe--from Youngstown, Ohio--is made with ricotta cheese and precooked wheat berries. Aunt Connie is making 10 pies in the film. Screen annotations will give you the measurements for one nine-inch pie.

Wheat berries or kernels can be found at health food stores. Over night soak a half a cup of wheat berries. In the morning, drain and put them in a sauce pan with about two cups of water and a half teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 90 minutes. When the wheat berries split open they are ready.
