Hi-This is a wonderful quality site. Thank you! I am looking for how to prepare citron & can’t find it. Can anyone help & give me a clue?
Thanks Maureen

Maureen, I have never seen fresh citron, which you would then have to turn into candied citron, a rather lengthy process. So it is best to buy it. Before Christmas, many supermarkets carry it, and usually stores specializing in nuts or dried fruit carry it year-round. The same applies to candied orange peel. If you can find the natural kind, without the chunks begin coated with high-fructose corn syrup, go for it! Hope that helps.

Hi-well I thought the citron melon recipes you posted were “citron”, but not, correct? Citron ( AKA: Buddha’s Hand”) is diff. from citorn melon I think. I think the Christmas Stollen is made with Buddha’s Hand, not citron melon, correct?? And yes indeed, candying the Buddhas Hand is very intensive, & an industry secret, far as I can tell, cuz I’ve tried to make it according to all recipes, & it doesn’t work at all. It gets mushy. I am indeed looking for a foolproof method for candied buddha’s hand, if you have anything better than I’ve tried, or more “complete” directions. So far, my recipes don’t work at all. And thank you Nadia, for your wonderful site, & for the personal note you sent! My best to you, Maureen

Maureen, Yes citron melon is indeed a melon, and citron is a citrus fruit, so they are entirely different animals. But during the old days, people apparently grew citron melon to make their own candied citron for fruit cakes etc. So that is what I did this year, as I grew citron melons in my garden and wrote about it on my gardening blog (http://mygardenerstable.wordpress.com/). But you are right, Stollen, Bremer Klaben and other German Christmas specialties are all made with candied citron, I just happened to substitute it with my homegrown stuff, which worked great. When I was browsing recipes to learn about how to candy those melons, I saw that David Leibowitz has a recipe for candied citron that looked pretty good to me http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2011/02/candied-citron-recipe/ but of course there is no way of telling until you actually try it. Good luck!

Hi-So how does the melon compare in flavor to the buddha hand? Any similarity? And thanks for David’s recipe. It’s different from the ones I tried before. His is direct-thanks. Will try soon! Happy Holidays and thank you again. M

Congrats Nadia, a great blog with great recipes. Pure German Cuisine 😉 Very recommendable!

Wonderful website! I can’t seem to find the recipe for the delicious-looking leaf-based foodstuff in the upper-right-hand corner of the home page. What might it be?
August 24, 2015 at 9:05 am
Thanks Olivia. Those are sage leaf fritters and it is a recipe from my book (https://spoonfulsofgermany.com/book/). I have a few recipes from my book on the website but not that one. The website/blog started because I realized I had many more recipes and stories to tell that would fit in the book. That was three years ago!

You refer to Rehrücken as Hedgehog cake. We have been making an Igel, for many years which translates: “Hedgehog”. It is a simple no-bake cake constructed from Ladyfingers and buttercream–lots of buttercream, garnished with slivered almonds that I learned from my mother and have passed on to my children and grandchildren. It is ideal to make with little children and we make it every year for Easter. A Rehrücken is definitely baked and it has its own unique form. Our Easter Hedgehog can be assembled with a snout, a cute little face using raisins for eyes. He most definitely looks like a hedgehog. not a haunch of venison.

Eleanor, As a translator I know that finding the right term for a dish can be a tricky thing, unless it’s a classic like Black Forest Cake, there is often no clearcut right or wrong answer but several possibilities and it boils down to a question of personal preference. In this particular case I chose “Hedgehog Cake” instead of going with the literal translation of “Saddle of Venison” for the German Rehrücken because hedgehog is more associated with something sweet in English whereas venison suggests a savory dish. I am aware that what is commonly called Hedgehog Cake in English is the layered cake you describe but since there is no trademark on the term 🙂 I took the liberty to use it.

Sorry, I was just getting a little defensive about our beloved traditional Easter Sunday Dessert. Perhaps, since you can take such liberties with the translation of a recipe’s title you could make up something entirely different Chocolate Porcupine, is not totally different, but is the first thing that came to my mind. PS love you book, it was given one for Christmas.

No need to apologize, I understand that one can become a bit defensive when a food term that is clearly defined is used for something different. You’d be glad to hear that I changed it to Chocolate Almond Cake.

Thank you for all your work with these recipes! We lived in Weil der Stadt for six years and still miss going to the Bäckerei & Metzgerei. These are a help in bringing “home” back home. Do you perchance have a recipe for Kartoffelsalat (the cold one not the hot with bacon & vinegar)?
I am making your Seelenbrot today and look forward to trying your Currywurst very soon!
