FireChef, I have to try the OSTKAKA. Do you think it would work if I cut it to 1/4 the recipe? I've never heard of anything like this and it sounds so interesting.

Also, do you use white or red grape juice in the sauce?

I am thinking it would work fine quartered as long as everything is quartered. It does not make too much as a bunch of the liquid is drained off.

I have always had it with lingonberries...but as for the grape juice I have only seen it with the purple/red stuff.

Let me know how it turns out...they say it takes practice to get it right so I am always looking for others that got it right the first time like I did...made a couple of older ladies quite unhappy and lifted a bunch of stress off the future mother in law...now she doesn't have to make it when the family gathers up north.

Do you make it with fresh, frozen or canned lingonberries? I've never seen a lingonberry in my life that I know of but I think I remember seeing a can in the fruit section at the supermarket.

I need to put rennet on my shopping list. I probably won't make this until next weekend.

We're supposed to make pasta (birthday gift from the kids) this weekend but I believe there's too many football activities going on.

I get lingonberry preserves from Holly's Aunt and she gets them from a "secret" source. I am sure canned are fine...they have a different taste...kind of tart but not too tart.

I'm sure I'll be able to find the preserves. Thank you for that idea.

No but it is a good reminder to me that I should make this for Thanksgiving!

I think this is almost the same "Jewish Apple Cake" recipe my grandmother (who would be 102 if she were alive today) made though I think she used four apples instead of three. My mom always made it at Christmas (though it was her mother in law's recipe, not her mom's - want to get the grandmother straight!). It is so good with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or dessert. I haven't made it in several years but just may have to soon. I do have a copy of the recipe in my binder in her handwriting. I think it's the only thing I have in her handwriting actually. Try it - I know you will like it!

Here's one we have fixed forever. Before the advent of canned "Cream of" soups we just used a bechemel sauce or a cheese sauce.
