Home made sweats are the best kind.

2 dl Sugar

4 tbs Potato starch

3 tbs Cacao

Put all ingredients in a small pot and heat under stirring, boil for about 5 min (until you can make a soft ball) pour it onto a baking sheet to cool. Freeze it and cut in to portions and wrap them in baking sheet.

Make 1 small jar about 2 dl.

– Juice of 1 medium sized lemon (55 ml)

Add lemon juice, egg and sugar to a sause pan, heat gently under constant stirring. When it start to thicken add butter in small portions under stirring, when all the butter has melted, poor in to  a sterilized jar, put the lid on and turn upside down.

Sterilize jar by heating the glass in the oven 125ºC for 10 minutes.

With Japanese cheesecake, I recommend that you make it in a beautiful pie form and serve it in the form it is a bit messy to remove it from the backing sheet as in the recipe.

Äggost is the traditional dessert in Bohuslän the part of Sweden that I com from, äggost is a must at the table on all celebrations. How it is seved depends on with part of bohuslän you are, in the sudern part it is sweet with sour berrys preferably strawberries, in the middle not at sweet but seved with sweet jam prefarably blackberry and in the northern parts, without sugar with pickled herring as a main dish. Bohuslän is also the place that Bohus sweater come from. This is the recipe that have been passed down in my family for at least 4 generations probably more.

9 egg

3 dl sour cream

3 liter milk (3.5 – 5 % fat)

Sugar about 3 dl

Whisk egg and sour cream to a smooth mix. 

Pour the milk in to a 5 liter pot, add the egg mix and gently heat under stirring  until it coagulates scoop it up and place in an äggost form or a colander sugar generously between the layers, place the form in a pot and left it cool down in the fridge over night. Turn out before serving and serve with fresh strawberries, or sour jam.

Traditionally the forms where carved in wood, to beautiful patterns.

It is very simple to make vanilla sugar, all you need is a vanilla fruit and Sugar. The Vanilla fruit can be used to for example vanilla crud before you make vanilla sugar of it.

1 dried vanilla fruit

1 dl sugar 1.5 dl if you use a new fruit with seed intact. 

cut the fruit in to smaller pieces, and mix it together with the sugar, using a hand mixer or a food processor to powder and put it in a jar for storage. If it is a little sticky just leave the lid of for a few days until it completely dry. Vanilla sugar don’t really go bad but it loose sam of it’s taste with time, I recommend that you use it which in a year.
