All this Stollen is fattening. Lucky Nutek is here to help me eat it.

I just noticed I have no Stollen! I should buy some plus extra for Nutek.

Re: Stollen
Don't forget to soak the fruit in brandy, rum or another booze for a few days before mixing, and after it's been baked, before putting marzipan on, poke some holes in it with a skewer and drop more booze down the holes. Add a teaspoon of glycerin to the royal icing, and it won't become too hard. I usually make a Christmas cake most years, but not this year. I'm partial to (good)Christmas cake, like Nutek is to Stollen.

Re: Stollen
Thanks to eagle eye Mrs. N. whilst grocery shopping, I am able to confirm an upward blip on the Nutek Stollen graph. However, I am already noticing a worrying downward trend.

Re: Stollen
Check your weight vs the weight of stollen in your house. The law of conservation of matter applies here.

Tell her it's imperative to do the 3 S's, Stollen, Schnapps, and Schunkeln then wow her with a few bars of Du Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen.

This is last year's, I believe, but the 2016 Dresden Stollen was just on the news. It weighs 2800 kg.

Re: Stollen
I've just made GF stollen for the first time. Remarkably easy once I had located the various ingredients.
half of it disappeared before it got cold. Good job I made 2 and I've hidden the other one.

Re: Stollen
Of the three I made two have been consigned to the chest freezer, the other seemed to evaporate. I should check on the frozen stock when I get home, they will need taste testing soon too.

Re: Stollen
Yes I did put marzipan in ours, had to be quick before #2qboy and steveq ate it! I used this recipe: Christmas Stollen Recipe | King Arthur Flour It makes 3 , you could always do one or two without marzipan, and put extra in the one with it
They turned out rather well so I think I might make a few more to give as presents to a couple of friends who don't eat gluten
