Mandelkränzchen (Almond Wreaths)

This old recipe is from my grandmother’s recipe box. I’m not sure where she got it. I do remember eating them at her house during christmas past. My sister and I would use one finger each in the center hole and try and tear the cookie apart kind of like a wishbone. Who ever got the bigger section won and, of course, we each would keep winning and that meant eating more cookies. The time does not include overnight in the refridgerator.

Kirschsosse (Cherry Sauce)

The wine-like flavor of cherry in a spicy sauce. Traditionally served with Dampfnudeln or Steamed Sweet Dumplings. Could go over any bread like dessert or cooled down as a jam. Recipe dates from the mid 1960’s and comes from my grandmother’s recipe box.

Cold Wine Soup (Kalte Weinsuppe)

Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. From a cookbook of countries along the Danube, this came from Austria, right next door to Germany, so I’ve classified as Germanic. I have not tried this recipe yet, but it sounds wonderful. Please note that it calls for 1 cup of already whipped cream (not 1 cup of whipping cream). Hopefully the calorie and fat content will reflect this! (Looks like it did.) Cook time includes chill time.
