I love making these Rosettes for special occasions because they look so dainty, but it is a time-consuming process like with most baking projects.
One of my favorite recipes from my mom, is a recipe for crepes. She usually filled them with creamed, and sweetened, farmer’s cheese. I like my crepes filled with fresh fruits, or fruit preserves ( I use Smucker’s Sugar Free Fruit Preserves), served with fruit syrup (also by Smucker’s), and whipped cream. This dish may be served as a light main course, or as a dessert. Makes about 8 crepes.
This recipe is very special to me, because every time I make these Nut Horns, I think of the two ladies who shared it with me.
Ukrainian Christmas Eve is a very solemn family time, and just as important of a holiday, as Christmas Day.
The day of Ukrainian Christmas Eve is a fasting day, thus no meat is consumed at all, and all the meals are small, and very simple.
