Christmas Nut Rolls

 Yesterday was nut roll baking day. I alwys use my mother's nut roll recipe.

 I start out by making the walnut filling and let it cool completely.

 I love making these and remember how at one time they seemed very difficult to make but now are such a breeze.

 You can find the full recipe here:   http://octoberfarm.blogspot.com/2016/12/polish-nut-roll.html

 Many, many years ago when I taught myself to make these, I was not much of a bread baker so these were intimidating.

 Now they are just a very relaxing bread baking experience.

 Nothing quite Zen's me out like bread baking does.

It's a wonderful recipe with beautiful results.

I made 8 of them.

Wrapped and ready to be given away.

I also made some pecan tassies.

 And I am still making salt rise bread almost every morning.  I have so many people counting on me doing this.  It will be frozen and handed out to everyone on New Years Day.  My one friend told me that she feels like a rich women having 3 loaves of salt rise in her freezer.  It is that good!
