German Christmas Recipe Traditions
In the early 1990's, my family and I had the opportunity to live
in Germany. During that time, we enjoyed a world of new sights,
sounds and most memorable - foods! We loved to wander the quaint
little village were we lived, taking in all of the wonderful
smells coming from the shops and bakeries near our home. The
local brass band would walk along the sidewalks, playing
Christmas songs while everyone waved and cheered them on. A
wonderful Christmas punch was sold in the market that literally
warmed our hearts!
My son, then 8 years old, became fast friends with the
neighborhood baker, even though neither one of them spoke each
other's language. It was a time that we'll never forget, and
during holiday time especially, we miss the lifestyle that only
life in a small German village offers.
There are a couple of favorite German Christmas Recipes that I
make sure to add to our celebrations every year, and I've
included variations of them here for you and your family to
enjoy this holiday season.
Traditional German Christmas Punch
1 cup water 2/3 cup sugar or Splenda Couple pinches of ground
cloves 1 cinnamon stick 3 cups apple juice 1 lemon, sliced
In a 3 quart saucepan, bring water, sugar, cloves and cinnamon
to boil. Stir in juice and heat through. Do not boil. Take
spices out and pour
over lemon slices in serving bowl. Serve
warm. Makes 1-1/2 quarts.
German Christmas Stollen
1-1/2 cups milk 1/2 cup sugar or Splenda 3/4 cup butter 1/2
teaspoon salt 2 eggs 2 egg yolks 5-2/3 cups flour 1 ounce active
dry yeast 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup candied citrus peel 1/2 cup
candied cherries

citron, and cherries, and rest of flour. Process and put on

cut into 3-4 pieces. Roll each into an oval, butter, and fold in

frosting and decorate with candied cherry halves and sprinkle
