Notes: When I was growing up, Mom was the primary cook in our home. Dad knows how to cook/bake and is a very good cook/baker, he just didn't cook as often as Mom. But Christmas Stollen was one of Dad's great holiday traditions. He would take a Saturday to make the stollen...and all but destroyed the kitchen in the process. You see the list of ingredients...now imagine an apron-clad Jack Weisenhorn assembling this recipe...it's not pretty! But it is sooooo good!
