And I just found interesting information in Wikipedia: "Hallongrotta (plural: hallongrottor) is the name of a common Swedish pastry. The name means 'Raspberry cave' in Swedish. In the United States they are known as thumb print cookies. It is an easily baked molded cookie, flavored with vanilla. The depressions are usually filled with raspberry jam." <br /><br />In Finland, gingerbread cookies are usually made using dark molasses.<br /><br />And, on the left: Finnish Christmas pastries or prune pinwheels. <br />Judith @ Lavender Cottage had bought some in November in the local Scandinavian Church Christmas bazaar! (See her post "Orange Spice and Pinwheels"!).<br />Reading your comment, I learned a term (Phyllo dough) I didn't know before. These pinwheels, however, are made from puff pastry. The most popular filling is perhaps prune jam, but also apple or apricot are used.<br /><br />To those interested in Finnish Cuisine :), a good start could be the Glossary of Finnish Dishes. You can find it at http://www.saunalahti.fi/marian1/gourmet/gl_finn.htm#j<br />There are links to recipes, too...Sara - Villa Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402655388283396110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082774686797129874.post-87711664782445371642014-12-15T08:59:45.780+02:002014-12-15T08:59:45.780+02:00Ihanan jouluisia kuivia!

I do love your trees covered in snow with the light sparkling underneath the snow. Perhaps we will have snow. We had about a dozen flakes today.
