Julafton

Every year at my house we celebrate Swedish Christmas on Christmas eve. We did this for fun to try and cook some Swedish foods, then did it for a few years and now it just became a fun tradition every year.

This year my lovely sister Kate joined us and made a Tosca cake, which was very delicious!

We drink Glogg, make Jansson's temptation, red cabbage and a Julskinka (Breaded Ham). It is probably a really English version of what you are actually meant to have, but I like it!

I have a very good friend who is also a jeweller, Paula Lindblom, from Alno who lives in Gothenburg. Paula always sends me some lovely Swedish treats for Christmas and I try and think of some typical English treats to send to her.
