Stollen

Excellent, fun and easy to make!

Changes I made (2025)

1 cup each golden raisins, dried cranberries, and dried cherries.
Orange juice, not rum.
Nutmeg not mace.
2/3 recipe DIY Almond Paste = perfect!

Recommendations for the future:

Fruit combo was great, but the pieces were too big. It would be tedious to cut up … perhaps try candied ginger chips, home-made candied orange peel, etc.

At 30 minutes, the internal temperature was 190°. I should have pulled it out at that time, but I let it bake 2 minutes longer. It was still very good, but it may have stayed moist longer if I had quit at 190. (Baked in the upper third of the large oven.)
