We were invited to Charlotte’s home to celebrate this evening.
These are traditional Danish apple slices called aebleskiver, which are ball-shaped bread dough with a texture similar to pancakes. Although their name is not very descriptive, they are a popular comfort food in Denmark during the long winter nights, especially in the run-up to Christmas.
While some people choose to add a piece of apple or prune to the middle of the dough halfway through cooking, it is optional. These delicious treats are usually served with jam or fresh fruit and a dusting of icing sugar. The crust is similar in texture to European pancakes but with a light and fluffy interior similar to a Yorkshire pudding.
She prepared Gløgg, which is a hot and sweet mulled wine that is popular during the Danish Christmas season. Many Danes enhance the flavor and potency of Gløgg by adding schnapps or rum to it.
Charlotte has been a family friend for fifteen or more years and remains an avid golf player at Old Ranch. We played with her quite often, and I credit her for making me an average golfer – that is a compliment! She taught me how not only to play golf but to enjoy golf!
We departed with James about 8:00 pm and headed for home after a fantastic evening.
