Cinnamon – The Heart of Danish Winter “Hygge”

Cinnamon has a long and rich history, spanning continents and cultures, where it has been cherished for its warmth, sweetness, and depth of flavor. In Denmark, cinnamon is especially loved in winter, where it plays a central role in the preparation of risengrød (rice porrigde). This traditional Danish Christmas dish isn’t the same without a generous sprinkle of cinnamon mixed with sugar over the warm, creamy “grød”. The distinctive warmth and sweetness of cinnamon perfectly complement the simple rice porrigde creating coziness and bringing families together during the cold winter months.

But cinnamon is not just for risengrød. Its versatility makes it an indispensable spice in everything from baked goods and desserts to hot drinks and savory dishes. It adds a depth and complexity of flavor that can elevate any recipe to new heights.

Baker’s Ammonia

Baker’s ammonia, a traditional leavening agent, has been used for centuries to give cakes and cookies their characteristic light and airy texture. Its unique chemical composition makes it an indispensable ingredient in many Christmas baked goods, ensuring perfect results every time.

Peppernut Spice Mix

Peppernut spice mix is the essence of the holiday spice blend. The complex combination of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg gives peppernuts their characteristic warm and spicy flavor. This spice blend can also be used in other holiday treats to add a deep, aromatic, and festive note.

Brown Cookie Spice Mix

Brown cookie spice mix is Christmas distilled into a single spice blend. Rich with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves, it is the secret ingredient that transforms ordinary brown cookies into something truly special. Its warmth and sweetness also make it perfect for mulled wine and other holiday treats.

These Christmas spices are more than just ingredients; they are keys to memories of cozy moments with family and the special holiday spirit we all cherish. Let them take a central place in your kitchen this Christmas and let the magic unfold in your holiday traditions. Note: Some spices are only available seasonally.
