Traditional Holiday Food & Drink Part 1

Glogg and Aebleskiver are apart of every traditional Danish holiday celebration.

Gløgg is a traditional Nordic wine that has been around since at least the 16th century. It’s a warm spiced wine, usually containing cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. Additionally citrus peels from oranges or lemons, raisins and almond slices are sometimes included.

Aebleskiver is a Danish pastry. It translates to “apple slices,” however in most present-day dishes the apples are not used. The crust is similar to a crepe with a light and fluffy inside and typically served with jam. These reminded me a lot of donut holes.

Overall, we liked the wine but felt the amount of raisins in the glass was a little off-putting. The aebleskiver was delicious!
