Finnish Blackberry Yoghurt Pie

Fri, 03 Jan 2003 20:20:44 -0500

This recipe is my version of the Moosewood "Sunday" Mustikkapiiras. I love blackberries so replaced the original blueberries with these. I tend to use a good Greek yoghurt for this also. -- posted by Missy Wombat

Blueberry Squares

Wed, 03 Sep 2003 20:07:29 -0400

These squares are quick and easy to put together and taste delightful. The combination of syrup and vanilla produces a toffee-like flavour that goes very well with blueberries. The original recipe uses cultured half cream (kermaviili - fat content 12%), but you can substitute sour cream or plain yoghurt - I even used fat-free buttermilk once in a pinch! (Note: recipe ingredients have been edited as a result of sugarpea's review and kind help - thanks again!) -- posted by stormylee

Rodgrod med Flode (Red Berry Dessert with Cream)

Thu, 16 Oct 2003 20:00:11 -0400

This recipe came from my Grandmother Johansen, she was a wonderful old-school cook. I learned basically to cook from her on my summer vacations there as a little girl. I still remember how she prepared this summer dish with such care and pride. 'Velbekomme' as we say in Denmark. -- posted by Scandigirl

Elina's Raspberry Chocolate Cake

Fri, 27 Feb 2004 20:00:16 -0500

I'm afraid I don't know who Elina is, but I like her cake! I haven't actually made this myself yet, but had it at a birthday party, with dark chocolate frosting and a dollop of whipped cream. Mmm! If you like the combination of fruit and chocolate flavours, give this a try! The cake gets better with time, so bake a day or two before serving and keep refrigerated. -- posted by stormylee

Rodgrod Med Flod

Fri, 26 Aug 2005 23:09:00 -0400

This recipe is from an old Cooking for Today Magazine, published by Good Housekeeping in 1973. The recipe features in a section of Scandinavian recipes. I have no idea what Rodgrod Med Flod means, but at a guess its to do with the red berries in used in the recipe. Personally Im not to sure about the potato flour ingredient: Im sure its fine, but.. Would another kind of flour do instead? I expect you've worked out by now that Ive not made this; Im posting it for Zaar World Tour 2005. I'm afraid the 'Time to Make' is guesswork. -- posted by Mrs B

Strawberry Pudding

Mon, 29 Aug 2005 18:55:53 -0400

The egg whites make Norwegian Trolkrem grow in volume, as if by magic to children! This is a traditional dish to make New Year's Eve.

Swedish Meatballs With Lingonberry or Cranberry Sauce

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 12:53:12 -0400

Swedish meatballs must be the most famous "export" recipe from this fascinating country. I like to think that these are a little bit different, and more authentic than most recipes you see. This is REAL Swedish home cooking at its best - and if you can manage to get hold of Lingonberries, you will notice a wonderful & very subtle difference; however, cranberries will do just as well. These meatballs are perfect served with piles of mashed potatoes or broad ribbon pasta. -- posted by French Tart

Midsummer Swedish Strawberry Compote - Jordgubbskräm

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 10:09:20 -0400

Midsummer would not be Midsummer without strawberries, and this is a simple Swedish recipe to make, to celebrate Midsummer, wherever you may be! In Scandinavia, the summer solstice is a magical time. The lavender twilight lasts until 11 p.m. and the day breaks again at about 2 a.m.; above the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn't sink below the horizon for weeks. This year, 2007, Midsummer Eve, the beginning of the three day official holiday, falls on June 25. Throughout Scandinavia, families and friends gather to decorate the maypole with birch leaves and wildflowers, make flower crowns for women and girls, dance around the maypole, sing summer songs and feast on pickled herring, new potatoes, and aquavit. In addition, many families have their own special foods that they traditionally serve as the Midsummer meal. These are usually dishes that can be prepared ahead of time and easily served outdoors. -- posted by French Tart

Norwegian Cloudberry Cream With Lavender and Vanilla

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 10:23:25 -0400

This is a twist on the traditional way of serving cloudberries in Norway, I have added lavender and vanilla to enhance the ephemeral flavour of this delicate arctic berry. A member of the rose family, cloudberry bushes produce delicious yellow/orange berries that are highly prized in Scandinavia. Smaller than blackberries and raspberries, cloudberries are picked at the end of July and the beginning of August. The cloudberry is almost exclusively sold fresh or made into jam, but it's also used in liqueurs and as a filling in sweets and chocolates. They are difficult to substitute - but I imagine raspberries or lingonberries would be a lovely idea if you cannot get cloudberries. -- posted by French Tart

Danish Oven Pancake (Aeggekage)

Sun, 17 Jun 2007 16:15:47 -0400

This sounds so good. This is an allrecipes.com recipe which was submitted by WOLSELEY. Here's the introductory statement: "An Aeggekage is a traditional Danish oven pancake, usually served as a buffet item or as a dessert for a family holiday meal. It is a light, cake-like dish that is not too sweet and absolutely delicious with fresh seasonal berries and fresh whipped cream! (Think of it as a sweetened Yorkshire pudding). Just make sure you serve immediately, this pancake does not do well cold nor is it a good leftover. But chances are you won't have any remaining Aeggekage to worry about!" -- posted by Happy Hippie

Taste the Clouds

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 22:09:03 -0400

This is a wonderful and simple Norwegian dessert traditionally made with cloudberries. Cloudberries are aromatic and rare berries that grow in the moors and mountains in Norway. Cloudberries can be purchased online or sometimes found in specialty stores. A close relative found in Alaska, Maine and Northern Canada is the baked appleberry. If you cannot find frozen or fresh berries, you can use cloudberry preserves. In that case, use less honey. While it won't be the same, you can substitute any local berry for a delicious dessert experience. -- posted by Alskann

Elegant, rich, and BEYOND description--don't let the long list of ingredients or directions put you off--this is WELL worth the effort!!!--my family looks forward to our annual FIRST raspberry picking of the year--because THIS is the first thing I make, and we gobble it up! The authentic old-time kind of pound cake--makes three loaf-pans. Use one for this recipe, freeze the other two for future use (you'll want to make this more than once!).

Fruit and Cheese Blintz or Breakfast Crepes

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 00:22:33 -0500

One of my favorite breakfasts, easy and quick to make and they go fast! Some of my recommendations for a little twist (I mix and match!): -If you desire sweeter crepes, omit the salt and add 2 tablespoons sugar -Try spreading a little cream cheese before filling the crepes -Add 1/4 cup of fresh berries, your choice (corresponding to your yogurt flavor, I recommend strawberry, which should be thinly sliced) -Garnish with whipping cream is desired -- posted by Hydra

Mixed Spice - Traditional Old Fashioned English Pudding Spice

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 20:28:00 -0500

The aromatic scent of holidays and Mum's home baking, mixed spice is an essential jar on the spice rack. Mixed spice is a blend of sweet spices traditionally used in English cooking to provide a warming backnote. This typically English spice mixture can be purchased ready-mixed, but I prefer to make my own, as I find it difficult to find in France and I have my own special blend. It is essential for fruit cakes, Christmas plum pudding, mincemeat and hot cross buns; mixed spice is also a great addition to other fruity desserts such as apple & fruit pies, crumbles and compotes. Try it in cream cheese desserts, pickles, chutneys and mulled wine too. Make it up and buy the spices needed in small quantities, as the mixture soon loses its full rich flavour. Allspice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger are the usual blend of spices, but I sometimes like to add a few ground cardamom seeds as well as some ground coriander seeds. This spice mixture makes an unusual and attractive gift - tie a ribbon around the neck of the jar, with pretty paper and then add a seasonal recipe tag. -- posted by French Tart

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:32:26 -0400

An absolutely delicious tart-n-sweet treat! If you can't find lingonberries, use cranberries - you may want to decrease the amount of sugar in the recipe somewhat, as lingonberries are seriously tart and the amount of sugar reflects that. ;-) Serve this pie with caramel sauce for an added touch of decadence.

This is a "must have" on our Christmas dessert table, but it is equally as good any time of year, or for any occasion. Although I use berries, it is wonderful with all different fresh fruits, such as kiwi or peaches. It is also very versatile and can be layered with fruit in a parfait dish if you prefer, nestled in a puff pastry or dessert shell, or set in a mold. We always serve it in one large stemmed glass bowl. Preparation time does not include chilling time. -- posted by JackieOhNo!
