Stollen

[rik_uk3]

Just enjoyed my first slices of the year of Stollen accompanied by a stiff shot of Kummel...Christmas is coming

Stollen ... Hmmmmm! Funnily had a few pfefferkuchen whilst round at a mates today. Love those things, they really push the right buttons.

Marzipan
old fashioned marchpane made without bitter almonds in the mix is another thing entirely though

I'm sewing a Christmas quilt......the days are fair drawing in if we're thinking about the festive season already

Good - proper home made stuff we hope - shop bought is never as good!

Always have marzipan in the emergency bag, tasty, sugar packed and as a lot of others don't like it it doesn't get scoffed.

Stollen cooked in a Dutch Oven with hot coals right? I did have my Grandmother's recipe for Stollen but it got stollen!

I just throw it in the range to be honest on an old marble slab I use as a bake stone - can't abide baking tins

Not had stollen in ages, but did have a mince pie the other night with a nice dram. Christmas is coming.

Had to look up stolen. Looks good. I'm waiting for some pecan divinity.

Nope, Lidl's finest and jolly good it is too

I get mine from the local 'family run' German cake place, I do quite fancy having a go myself though.

My Christmas doesn't start until the morning of the sixth of December when my kids will either find some goodies placed inside one of their boots by Mikulás (Santa) or be dragged away by his demonic assistant Krampusz.

You can't worship a pecan - that's nuts!

I love Lidl's traditional stolen even if it is half the size this year , the new one they've started doing though is crud, taste really sour

I'm sure its fine - but have a crack at baking one with that grandson of yours - and try it warm from the oven with that smell of marzipan in the air!

I switched to the little Stollen bites that Lidl and Aldi do. Two or Three of those with a nice brew is really rather nice.

I should bake more cakes, I make bread quite often and little fairy cakes with the grandson... I might give it a bash. I need to make some piccalilli too, stock is running out fast. Pickled eggs need doing too, nice little job for young Jacob I think

Talking of the little treasure, he's at the local Church School now and was voted pupil of the week last week

 

[British Red]

Its worth doing - my baby girl still sends me photos of her cake creations now that she has her own place....and chutneys too!

I was happiest with her choice of Birthday present this year - a decent sized high quality chutney and jam pan . Not a TV (which she doesn't have) or other frippery - but a cooking tool!

Happy Dad!

this is in the wrong section -- nothing with marzipan in can be classed as Lovely Grub
