Today we've been baking Christmas desserts because my host is working on the 23rd and also on the 24th so she won't have time otherwise.

First we made some English mince pies.


Then we made some Finnish Christmas pastries. They are very easy to make, you just buy a packet of ready rolled puff pastry and cut in into squares like on this photo


Then you cut each corner of each square same as on this photo and add a bit of plum or apricot jam in the centre of each of the squares


TThen you just fold in the same side of each cut corner which will form stars like these


And then you just put them in the oven for 10-15 minutes (or depending what your pastry instructions say..and the final result is this

Pretty, aren't they?

Then we also made some filled bread eventhough it's not really a xmas dish


Tomorrow we'll bake the ham
