I've got nothing against buying ready-made pickled herring, sliced ham and shop-bought vörtbröd (the Swedish spiced Christmas loaf), but the Christmas baking I absolutely want to do myself. Do you have any favourites? At our house it's always a big gluten-free bake: saffron muffins made with almond flour, gingerbread biscuits for the kids to decorate, maybe a gingerbread house, crisp little biscuits, shortbread ones that we sandwich in pairs with a smooth orange-chocolate cream in the middle and decorate on top, loads of fudge, toffee, Viennese nougat, a gooey saffron cake and a really good cheesecake on a gingerbread base. Love Christmas - the biscuits at least! ;)
Baking a little extra and giving it away is always appreciated too, and even more so if you wrap it up in a lovely tea towel as part of the gift. This year's new Christmas tea towel is wonderfully cosy and makes such a pretty gift, with or without biscuits inside. Don't miss having a look at it!
