Time for mom's kipferl cookies

Every Christmas, my mom sends us her famous kipferl & ginger bread cookies. Due to some mail restriction, this year, a little less than a lb of kipferl. She has baked hundreds of cookies for everyone every year.

Apple pie at midnight

I had an urge to eat apple pie at midnight. I had granny smith apples and puff pastry in my freezer.
No extra butter, made apple sauce with rum and just brushed marmalade jam on apples and sprinkled sugar and spices. Good to go. I use Dufour puff pastry.

silo sugar pots

When I went to the farm, I loved the silo. I made those "silo sugar pots".

my sugar pot

My sugar pot makes our guests wonder what it is. It has a nice smooth surface of old wood which was under the ground. My mom bought it at a store which used to be in Shinsaibashi in Osaka a long time ago. She gave me the pot when I moved to the States.

I am working on a project making sugar pots. I wish I can make somthing like this pot, something to make people's tea time happy.
