Good morning, kittens and dawgs! On Tuesday, I presented my Peppermint Cathys recipe. I mentioned that I wanted to share a Christmas Stollen recipe with you and so I’m making good on that promise.
Over the years, we have bought stollen. It’s really good stuff. Stollen comes from Germany and it’s a cake-like fruit bread. You can read more about it on Wikipedia.
Last Christmas DH found a recipe on the Kitchen Stories app. I was skeptical about making it because I felt intimidated. I think this has something to do with residual low-esteem hanging around in the recesses of my brain that comes out now and then to play with my head. I didn’t allow it to dictate me this time and decided to take a stab at it.
The recipe turned out to be simple and straight forward. I didn’t have a single problem. The real pay off came in the joy it gave me make. It just felt Christmasy! The good news is the finished product turned out pretty darn good for my first try. pat self on back
The first attempt was so good, I decided I will make another. And, while I can’t offer you a slice, I can share a virtual bite with you.
I can’t believe next Thursday is Christmas Eve, folks. Can you? I sure do appreciate you making me a part of your day. Drop in next Tuesday for another new Christmas Recipe ~ Springerle Cookies. I’m busy in the kitchen, but I’ll eventually make my rounds to all who visit.
