The last of the 2007 holiday trays are done and I am already thinking about next year. (Our trays have favorites but always include a few new recipes.) Planned to make these but never had a chance. Posting this so I don’t lose it in the next 49 weeks before holiday begins again. This recipe comes from “1000 Chocolate Recipes from Around the World” an encyclopedic volume which should be mandatory reading for us chocoholics.
As good as the title is gross. My mum has made this for Christmas as long as i can remember and longer. I did not really like it as a kid but you kind of really grow into it. You may use whatever nuts or nut mixture you want, this year i used almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts and coconut which turned out great and looks very festive.
This is one of my Mom’s (Austrian) recipes that she would make on Special Occasions and Christmas…she always stressed that the dough had to rolled very thin..I use a German Measuring cup.. have not converted.. we always used Red Currant Jelly for filling.. tried others.. but liked this the most.. There were never any left.. and I have to hide these from my boys.. sounds a little time consuming but well worth the trouble!
The recipe is different from others posted in that it contains raisins and almonds. The English translation of Glühwein is “glow wine.” The mulled wine got its name because it radiates heat and gives the drinker a glow.
Janosch is the famous author of the great stories about the little Tiger and the little bear. My mum send me shapes of my favorite childhood characters and this is the second of 2 recipes which came with them. You also find the other one on Zaar, it is Recipe #271114. Enjoy!
