Why we're making GERMAN STOLLEN in early November

[@mobetta3456]

Is it just my imagination, or is more and more of Joerg's personality coming out? And I'm loving it.

[@Booboonancy]

I think you’re right. He seems to be more comfortable in front of the camera, which is great !

[@jcmelborai]

Me too I love his personality!

[@krismada]

Agree! Love the personality of both of them! This is a highlight of the week to find their videos.

Oh my this brings back so many good memories. My Mom is German. My Dad met and married her in Germany when he was in the military. She continued all of the wonderful German traditions throughout our childhood. Christmas stollen, marzipan, and liebgucan were all enjoyed in our home. My Mom made the best Christmas cookies from scratch too. She is now 88 yrs old with Dementia but she was the best Mom ever and the memories live on with us!

[@KirstenJoerg]

I'm so so sorry to hear that your Mom has dementia, she sounds like such a wonderful person. Wishing you all the best.x

Heart touching comment.

[@lissalack1490]

So wonderful, glad you have such priceless, precious memories♥💝

[@lamadeleinedeproust3698]

C'est si touchant et en même temps un peu triste. Le temps passe. Nous veillissons et voyons nos parents vieillir. Embrassez bien affectueusement votre Maman. Profitez bien du temps avec elle et parlez lui de ces merveilleux souvenir. A sa façon elle vous comprend. Une maman comprend son enfant au delà de la raison. Toute mon amitié.

[@amyleasure536]

I loved that Joerg breaks out in spontaneous dance. My dear sweet late husband was notorious for swirling you into dance at the drop of a hat. Many times our whole family would have a dance fest at some random rest stop. He left us seven years ago but he left us with so many wonderful memories. He also loved stollen every year that we had to hunt down at either World Market or Trader’s Joe. After watching you make one, I wish I would have tried my hand at it. I still might in his honor. 😊

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much Amy! I think it's such a lovely idea to make a Stollen in his honour.x

[@carolynhoover9444]

Your story is so beautiful. Your husband was a special man.

[@elizabethcutrofello2572]

What a lovely idea Amy! I hope you have a wonderful baking day if you decide to make the stollen. Your dance fest sounds very special indeed! 🤗

[@angelaevans1636]

What a lovely feeling to hear Joerg sing such a worldwide Christmas song in the German tradition. I am African American and I love that we can celebrate Christ and Christmas in so many wonderful ways. This so reminds of my Mom and I decorating the tree and the smell of delicious food, dad and I singing Christmas carols, family and friends honoring God, giving thanks for our blessings and of course blessing others. Danke!

@@looloo4029 We call it the “mid-terms” because it is halfway between presidential elections. We are voting on many, but not all. Senate seats, House of Representative seats, state governorships and various other local judges, officials, etc. The big question is whether or not the Democratic Party will maintain their majority in the House and Senate. 💕

[@joysedgwick812]

My mother discovered Stollen in the early 60s, it came from a rather smart bakery in my home town in Yorkshire, it always had marzipan through the centre. We loved it so much, it never lasted long! You have evoked a very happy memory, thank you both.

[@KirstenJoerg]

How wonderful to hear!

[@mariadegan1029]

I Love stollen, l discovered it in Austria and it was with marzipan, which is delicious 😋 Great Christmas cake!! How do you keep the butter from going rancid keeping it for a month🤔

[@vilmabock478]

I live in Germany and that is my favorite one; with marzipan! 😋

[@221b-Maker-Street]

@@mariadegan1029 Fresh butter _should_ last for several months - particularly when i's been cooked. Think of a Christmas cake - that too is kept for several months in order to mature.

[@67ilsalund]

Stolen brings me memories about my travels to Germany for many years each first week of December, Nicholas day, zimt stern cookies and so on... Joerg is getting more and more funny. I loved this episode.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you!

[@christinecaronnabeard1369]

This was fun and funny. I love when you guys bake. Kirsten was so funny when she said to Joerg, “Did you try it? Just a tiny bit? You HAVE to.”

[@nancy9704]

Hello Kirsten and Joerg!! I absolutely love German stollen! I've never made it before, though. My husband is Swiss German, so I'm learning how to make authentic German food. I made schnitzel and a delicious cucumber salad with dill, sour cream, heavy cream and lemon, etc., last night. My next recipe is spaetzle. I even bought a spaetzle maker. I adore German food.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Hello Nancy! This is wonderful to hear. We simply love using our Spätzle maker, so easy to use.

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

Kirsten & Joerg. I really like stollen we get it from a local German bakery. My Father used to make German fruit cake Obstkuchen for Christmas. He would make it about four weeks ahead and it would sit in the refrigerator till Christmas. Every week he would pour some brandy on it. I really miss him and his cooking and baking. 🇩🇪🎄❤ cheers Ron.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Oh yes, always liked fruit cake especially after skiing or hiking.

[@honestcomments6060]

I grew up with all these German sweets. My Balkan aunt used to live in Munich for 42 years, and she used to send us huge care packages for Christmas with marzipan, lebkuchen, rum kugeln, Mozart kugeln, Christ stollen, spekulatius, chocolates, Christmas chocolate ornaments and tons of other Christmas related things. Luckily, times have changed, and we have all of those things down here as well, so I don't need to wait anymore :) Also, I like to make Christmas sweets, so before Christmas, my mom and I bake all sorts of cookies, mostly old traditional German recipes.

[@BubsyMupsy]

I love the German baking stuff! I think Lebkuchen are honey cookies. I love them! I also adore Pfeffernusse cookies! My favourite! 🥰❤😋

[@KirstenJoerg]

So good!

I grew up eating a lot of German style food. My grandma, who was Hungarian, and my mom, from Slovak stock, both made delicious stollen. The best was the nut or poppy seed stollen. I love your kitchen segments. Your outtakes at the end of this vlog are so precious and funny. You've got a fan for life.

[@debrap947]

So many memories of the 3 years our family spent in Germany. All those treats, I love anything gingerbread, Lebkuchen, Pfeffernusse...the little gingerbread windmills and stollen is one of my favorite Christmas treats of all time! Thanks for the walk down memory lane once again. Cheers!

What a warm introduction of Christmas feeling. The GERMAN STOLLEN looks very inviting,

[@mariahr673]

Bonjour Kirsten et Joerg, quel immense plaisir vous m’avez fait avec le Stollen ! J’habite en Alsace à côté de l’Allemagne et mon enfance a été imprégnée des traditions allemandes. J’adore le Stollen au marzipan et toutes les douceurs que vous nous avez montrées. Chaque année pour Noël nous faisons beaucoup de Bredle et Lebkuchen et bien sûr du Stollen, c’est une tradition d’en offrir aux gens qu’on aime et d’en manger pendant toute la période d’avant Noël 🎄Nous avons aussi le Berewecke dans les Vosges toutes proches. Alors mille MERCIS pour cette sympathique vidéo qui m’a fait sourire et … j’ai très bien compris tout ce que vous disiez en allemand 😅 mais j’écris moins bien en allemand et le correcteur de l’iPad ne m’aide pas 😢 Je ne manquerai pas le rendez-vous le jour où vous dégusterez votre Stollen 🤩Amities d’Alsace 💝

[@lorigaubriel6484]

I'll be the first to say I'd love to have your" stollen creation" as a gift!!!! Just kidding, you two are a real "treat"🥮🍪🎂🍰🧁🍩🍨🍭

[@VionaBee]

Jörg sings! And bakes! All in one video, what a treat. 😀 Cold months are perfect for baking, adding to a cozy atmosphere. You two, as I said it before, are a great team. Keep up the good work. 👌 I love Stollen, so I will certainly give it a try. Kirsten, please thank your sister for letting you share her lovely recipe. 😊 P. S. I recognized all the German sweets you showed us. Tried them all. They are amazing. I buy them in my local Müller or Lidl.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much, that's so kind!

[@VionaBee]

@@KirstenJoerg Oh, I forgot the bloopers.. Hilarious. 😆😅 One more thing, if I may ask, where do I store Stollen after I bake it? Since it contains eggs and quark, I presume in the fridge, or on the balcony?

[@KirstenJoerg]

Fridge is actually too cold. A cool and dry place is best.

[@susanferguson2216]

When I was growing up, my grandmother (whose father was Swiss French and her mother from Acadia in Maine) always made stollen at Christmas- and several loaves at that! We saved it for Christmas morning, nice and fresh and we toasted it on the later days and swirled it with butter. I can still taste it, too! When I was very ill - several times over the past ten years - I wished she would ascend from Heaven and make me stollen or Parker House rolls. She could have cured me far faster than modern medicine! She was a fabulous cook and baker and there was love in everything she made. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely tradition...❤

[@femalism1715]

Stollen is our traditional Christmas breakfast 'bread/cake'. It's served with coffee and consumed while children open their stockings.

[@elizabethandrus3848]

I adore Stollen! My husband often traveled to Germany for work and always gifted me one for Christmas. Yum!

[@ukaly1]

I LOVE marzipan! I bought a German stollen at Aldi last week here in the US. I haven't cut into it yet but it has marzipan ❤ Your traditional Christmas cake sounds like the fruit cake my mom made when I was growing up in England. She made it weeks before Christmas, covered it in cheesecloth and regularly poured brandy over it. It was then covered with marzipan and royal icing. We don't have Lidl but we buy German sweets at Aldi.

[@edk2221]

I love stollen, especially with marzipan. My German grandmother made this and many German Christmas cookies for the holidays

[@diannamcbride1607]

We love Stollen! As a matter of fact last week when we grocery shopped at Aldi they had all of their Christmas German goodies out. We bought a cherry stollen and a pack of Lebkuchen! We put the stollen in the freezer but it's already found its way back to the counter.

[@josef-peterroemer5309]

Those are Nasty Factory Stollen, taste terrible and made with junk ingredients, I would never buy one of those.

[@LindaKordich]

[@leslieperez3483]

Lovely! My German grandmother used to make stollen every Christmas here in the U.S. But, I’ve never tried. This year, you’ve given me the inspiration and courage to try it myself (but I guess I better start soon)! Vielen Dank, Kirsten & Joerg! 💜

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much!

[@sarapawsonherrington2595]

I love Domino's !! I buy them every year. I also buy stollen and learned that I was to scoop out the marzipan after I sliced a piece, then toast the slice of cake to warm, then spread the marzipan on the warmed slice. It is even more delicious that way. I loved your outtakes too! My mother used to hum that tune that Joerg was humming as you danced. My mother, whose maiden name was Bach, would often hum that. I enjoyed the calm fun way you present things. Thank you

Your Stollen reminds me of what we make and that is fruit cake for the holidays.

Amazing, I love Stollen, but we always buy it. But ill definitely try making this. Family recipes are great. I still use my family recipe from my grand parents for Christmas Pudding and its so much better than shop bought. But like stollen it has to be made in advance so the flavour matures.

For anyone by who can’t find stollen with marzipan ; Morrisons sainsburys and Ocado ( marks and Spencer’s ) usually do quite good ones. Not authentically German but very similar. We love Christmas but have to have the German treats too, as my dad was in national service in Germany for three years in the 1950’s and he always loved the German Christmas treats too. Thanks for sharing your recipe. 😊
