"This is a traditional Swedish dish (also served in Norway but the Danes have more sense). It is a dish that you acquire a taste for (like Haggis). When you do acquire a taste you love it so I'm told. I have not cooked this recipe but it comes from a traditional source. This is not a joke this is an authentic recipe!"

Ingredients: lye, lutefisk...

"This is the traditional Swedish gravlax recipe. Nowadays lots of varieties have evolved, but this is the original. It is traditionally served with the mustard sauce ('Gravlaxsas') and lemon. I recommend a German or Californian dry or semi-dry white wine to this. Because of the simplicity of the recipe, the salmon has to be of the best quality..."

Ingredients: Dijon mustard, fresh dill...

Ingredients: coarse salt, dill, dill sauce...

"Please note that this recipe takes ten days of pickling time, but is well worth the effort! This is from "The Frugal Gourmet Celebrates Christmas". I made the entire "Swedish Winter Feast" for a past Christmas and it was wonderful! I'll post the other recipes next: Swedish Sauerkraut, Swedish Green Split Peas with Bacon, Mashed..."

"Who doesn't like smoked salmon? But with the prices these days, who can afford it? Here's an easy and less expensive presentation of salmon to be served as you would the smoked variety. I prefer the fresh, aromatic taste of this salmon cured with juniper berries than I do the smoked. Serve with a mustard sauce or with buttered dark bread rounds..."

Ingredients: coriander, gin, kosher salt...

"This is a slightly different Gravlax recipe than normal, as it uses gin and juniper for a clean, sophisticated and fresh taste - if you are not keen on gin - you could use vodka instead! Junipers can also be replaced by a few extra peppercorns.
Gravlax (pronounced grov-lox) is from the Swedish name for this dish. Norwegians call it gravlaks and..."

"This is my friend Adam's mother's recipe... and it is terrific.

Some notes... please do NOT substitute dried dill for the fresh dill, and be sure you buy your salmon fillets with the skin on (take care to remove any little bones with a tweezer). MANY people like to put the soggy onions that you remove at the end of this recipe on..."

Ingredients: fresh coarse ground black pepper, fresh dill...

"From Clean Eating magazine. Interesting that this is never put into a smoker just put in a refrigerator. Magazine says "Don't be overwhelmed by the two days needed to make this recipe-there's only 10 minutes of actual work." Besides using as an appetizer, breakfast side, on sandwiches, try piled on Clean Eggs Benedict in lieu of the..."

Ingredients: fresh dill sprigs, fennel seeds...

"Just like you buy from the Christmas Glogg stands in Scandinavia. This is alchoholic but mellow and needs overnight preparation and the beer to soften the alchohol flavour. Well worth the effort but IT MUST BE COLD OUTSIDE!
You can make the base flavouring and then store and make in smaller quantities later."

Ingredients: cinnamon sticks, cloves...

"These are quite hard so be warned eat them with tea, milk or other beverages."

Ingredients: eggs, nuts, salt...

"This is a secret family recipe passed down many years. This is not a traditional chili it is sweet and very unique. You can add more or less sugar to your taste. I hope my mom doesn't see this recipe.:)"

Ingredients: ground venison, great northern beans...

"This is the traditional way to make a ham for the smorgasbord served on Christmas Eve in Sweden. I grew up eating this wonderful dish, and look forward to it ever year. It's really an investment of time- yes, it takes two weeks to make. But, most of that is hands-off; and the result is well worth it. This recipe was written before commercial..."
