Nancy – There’s no cutter. You just cut squares out them make the cuts yourself. See this picture to see how the cuts are made: http://www.flickr.com/photos/teach77/2078090255/sizes/m/in/photostream/

Can you tell me where to find the cutter for the Finnish Prune Tarts?

these things are wonderful! I’ve been staying in Finland foe the last 3 weeks and seem to constantly eat them!!
although instead of jam, they have a special sort of jam thing just for them.
I plan on making them when I get home

Susan – I saw that – thanks! This post seems to be even more popular this year than it was last.

Betha – My preferred glögi recipe is here: http://teach77.wordpress.com/2007/12/04/glogi-nights/
It’s just normal red wine I use though. I’ve never heard of it made with Madeira before. The Finns I know often add koskenkorva (bit like vodka) to it or sweet vermouth. I leave it out as liquor makes me fall over!

Wendy:

Always Finnish Prune Tarts (as we call them) for Christmas But we make our own dough sort of like a soft sugar cookie and make them in a pinwheel shape with a prune filling.

Anyway, I desperately need the recipe for gloggi. I know that it takes two kinds of wine, one of which is Madeira and it takes cinnamon and is served hot with raisins and some other fruit on the bottom of the cup. I need the recipe so I can have some for Christsmas. Thanks.
