I am including a couple of my favorite holiday recipes.
My mother used to make these russian cookies when I was
little and she just finally found the recipe to pass on to
me.  

Swedish Glogg is great for holiday get togethers on cold
nights.  Imangine good friends, a roaring fire...
I've used this recipe for my holiday bash with great success,
(You might find out how to remove red wine stains first, just
in case.  I didn't.)

I'm still interested in rum cake recipes, I haven't received any
yet.

Russian Tea Cakes

1 cup sweet butter
1/2 cup confectioners sugar (sifted)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup finely chopped nuts
confectioners sugar

Cream butter and sugar with vanilla.
Sift together flour and salt.  Mix together
with butter mixture and add nuts.  Chill dough.
Roll into 1 inch balls and place 2 and one half
inches apart on a ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 
10 or 12 minute in a 400 degree oven until lightly
browned.   WATCH THEM.  While warm, roll in 
confectioners sugar to coat.

Swedish Glogg

2 1/2 cup rasins
Whole Cardamom
2 tsp whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
peel of one orange
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 gallon dry red table wine
whole unblanched almonds

1. Rinse and drain raisins.  Peel cardamom pods;
extract black seeds,  and pound seed to a powder
to measure 1 tablespoon.  Combine spices, raisins, 
orange peel, sugar and eight cups of water.   

2. Bring to boiling.  Reduce heat;  simmer for at
least 15 minutes.  

3. Strain (save raisins); Add liquid to red wine
in a kettle large enough to accomodate liquid and 
wine.

4. When ready to serve, heat to simmering.  Place
two or three almonds and a few reserved raisins
in each punch cup, and pour the hot, spicey brew 
over them.  Makes 48 1/2 cup servings.

Happy Holidays!!!
