Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The name Stollen is German, but I got this recipe from a British source, the Jacquie Lawson Advent Calendar, Dec. 23, 2014. I searched for the recipe a long time. We always bought our stollen from German bakeries until we made our last move and could no longer find it. I look forward to making it for the first time this Christmas.
