Dear editors,I live in Berlin and here stollen is baked weeks before Christmas and the stored in a container.When eaten warm,as stated in your recipe,it will not taste as good because all the spices and ingredients have to be given time to mingle.You can use raisins or almonds or even poppy seeds as they do in the city of Cologne.There are many variations but Stollen is never eaten right after baking.
Merry Christmas,Marlies
