We know the holiday season has begun when the wrapped packages of stollen fill the wooden baker's rack . This traditional German fruit cake is delicious any time of day. It is made from dried cherries, organic apricots, and golden raisins and citrus fruit soaked for days in rum and blended with almonds, organic flour, European style butter and cane sugar slowly raised, baked until golden brown, and then coated in butter and cane sugar and finished with confectionery sugar to help give it a longer shelf life so that you may enjoy it throughout the holiday season. Try the loaves made extra special with a band of handmade beer-scented marzipan in the center. A perfect hostess gift or for someone who has everything.

Producers and Christmas characters abound making this a holiday shopping experience to remember!
