I have a few of his recipes, but don't have his Yule kage recipe. Thank you for sharing this special recipe. <3Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971740466393138922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40985591113240940.post-63588477941682526532017-01-05T21:05:17.573-08:002017-01-05T21:05:17.573-08:00Mom also made fruitcake, but Dad's specialty w...Mom also made fruitcake, but Dad's specialty was Plum Pudding with Hard Sauce. It was steamed for a long time in a cloth wrapping lined with flour. It made a firm crust on the outside when it was cut. The sauce was flavoured with brandy and nutmet. I may try that next year. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40985591113240940.post-84951382297676340352017-01-05T17:29:20.224-08:002017-01-05T17:29:20.224-08:00Really nice post with such good instructions for y...Really nice post with such good instructions for your family recipe. We will sure bake it here - it sounds yummy. <br /><br />My mom's parents both came from Switzerland. They met in Tillamook and started a dairy farm there. Grandma always made special treats for Christmas, one being a pear bread made from dried fruit and wrapped in a baked crust sort of like Beef Wellington. Mom and one sister of hers both make it. But our new tradition the past few years is my husband and my mom making fruitcake together. Yes, the dreaded fruitcake! But this one is delicious, really!!! Mom has made it for years but Paul wanted to learn how to make it.<br /><br />And yes, Stollen is also something grandma made and one aunt makes that, too.2 Trampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721390235821161265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40985591113240940.post-32764438792788496902017-01-02T18:24:21.242-08:002017-01-02T18:24:21.242-08:00It's so nice to have Christmas traditions.

Often there are foods that cross heritage lines such as the Yule Kage and Stollen. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40985591113240940.post-24328957979212854762017-01-01T20:00:32.726-08:002017-01-01T20:00:32.726-08:00What lovely memories.

I make Russian Teacakes every christmas - they are not from my ethnic heritage, but growing up in Sitka, Alaska, we were always invited to the Russian Bishop's house for christmas tea. They served hot tea (and I do mean HOT) from a real Samovar, and trays of Russian teacakes. I feel like a little girl, sitting on a big chair with my feet swinging whenever I eat Russian Teacakes and drink tea. Your christmas bread is almost the exact same recipe of the German Stollen that I make at Christmas - I add nuts and raisins - I have made it since I first found the recipe in a cookbook the year we got married (1964) so it is a tradition my children will remember. Happy New Year my friend -looking forward to hearing more of your adventures this coming year.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40985591113240940.post-77262860160605533142016-12-30T19:46:09.951-08:002016-12-30T19:46:09.951-08:00I'm a newby to baking bread, but have found a ...I'm a newby to baking bread, but have found a few recipes that come out time after time. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40985591113240940.post-37143786808675041852016-12-30T06:43:24.636-08:002016-12-30T06:43:24.636-08:00Yummy, that sure looks good.

She was a farmer's wife and they had both a kitchen garden and grew produce to sell to markets.
