Christmas Bakes
Christmasy decos were out since September,
magazines stuffed full of receipes for Christmas
dinner, lunch, breakfast; not forgetting 'after dinner'
morning cocktails to sober up.
Everyone driven into a frenzy of shopping
and baking when December came..
I did not bake much this year as I was away for much of December. Here are my traditional bakes, simple and very much liked by family. The receipes are from a book printed in the early 1900.
Linzertorte - raspbery jam (above)
Black currant jam.
Vanilla crescent- before baking
Vanilla crescent - after baking.
was not watching :-(
Filled with black currant and apricot jam.

Beautiful bakes, friend. I look forward to the day where we can share some of your cookies over a cup of tea!
