Finnish Beet Salad

Sat, 18 May 2002 13:04:05 -0400

This salad is made in Finland in two ways: either with herring (rosolli) or without (punajuurisalaatti). It's my favorite beet salad, and although I've never made it including the herring I'm sure it would be tasty that way, too! Based on a recipe from "The Finnish Cookbook" by Beatrice A. Ojakangas. First prepared in our household by my husband Mike. :) -- posted by Julesong

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

Finnish Prune Tarts

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

Blueberry Yogurt Pie

Wed, 24 Aug 2005 18:21:08 -0400

Posted for Zaar World Tour. This pie is a bit tangy...especially if your blueberries are not too sweet! You may want to consider adding a little more sugar to the filling if you like a sweeter pie. -- posted by Ms*Bindy

My Mum's Apple Pie

Mon, 09 Jan 2006 19:41:12 -0500

The only real kind of apple pie, finnish-style I guess. This isn't what most people, especially americans, are used to but it's delicious and tastes just as good after being frozen and melted as it did freshly baked. Can be served both hot and cold (I quite like it when it's still a bit frozen). -- posted by JohannaR

Crunchy Butter Cookies

Sun, 11 Jun 2006 20:48:46 -0400

This is a traditional Finnish cookie recipe that originated somewhere in the countryside of Western Finland. The cookies are sweet but very dry, so be sure to have a supply of milk at hand! The recipe works well with low lactose or lactose-free butter. -- posted by Torbjorn

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

Strawberry Snow

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 20:33:59 -0400

You'll want an avalanche of this delicious snow. This recipe was given to me by a friend, Anne. It was a highlight of the menu for my oldest daughter's 21st birthday. Very easy and quick to make. For those who use imperial measure, 500 grams is just over a pound. -- posted by Leggy Peggy

Apple Sugar Cake

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 13:46:07 -0400

For Zaar World Tour - Scandanvia - Finland. I've been making this simple coffee cake for years -- actually this is the first cake I ever made by scratch soon after I got married eons ago - it is not too sweet and is great with coffee served for brunch or as cut in squares snacks.

Lingonberry Crumb Pie

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. Recipe adapted from vsfinland.fi. -- posted by stormylee

Frozen Festive Vodka or Tequila Bottles With Herbs and Berries

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 17:05:20 -0500

Another GREAT Jamie Oliver recipe, and one that I am preparing for New Year's Eve! Jamie says you can use any spirits or liquor, but he suggestes vodka and tequila in his recipe. These bottles look SO festive and pretty, I plan to use holly, berries, bay leaves, fruit slices, ivy and woody herbs for my bottles this year. DO check that the liquor bottle fits INSIDE the plastic water bottle first! This recipe idea for serving liquor originates from Scandinavia. (Prep time is for freezing the bottles.) -- posted by French Tart
