This year's Stollen! It seems like I have been making these every Christmas for the last thousand years and every year they come out differently. This year I loaded it with almonds, raisins and candied Italian citrus with a few tart cherries thrown in for color. When I roll it out and overlap the dough it all looks so neat and tidy. Then the heat of the oven throws it into whatever shape the gods decree.This this year's looks like a shelf in the mountains. The taste is incredible so who cares?
Never got around to designing a holiday card this year, too much havoc in my life, but just know that I have thought about you all with love and hoping everything goes well in your lives. Best wishes for the new year.
