Notes: This recipe was one of Grama O's favorites. It came from my Grama Selma, who came from Sweden on a boat when she was 16 years old. My Mother made it every Christmas. I made it once and brought it to Grama O's house for Christmas Day. She LOVED it and asked for the recipe. She made it. As far as I know, that was the last bread she ever dabbled in baking. The first time she made it, she didn't "husk" the cardamom pods. What I mean is, you are supposed to husk them and crush the tiny seeds inside discarding the husks. *giggles* We had a great laugh over that. The bread was still perfect and tasted great!!!! She was a "fearless" cook and I always admired her for that.
