2018! Happy New Year!
The Mister and I had a special treat to ring in the New Year. My son and daughter-in-law prepared dinner for us and for dessert made Поленница Polennica. My daughter-in-law is from Russia and we've been privileged to have her prepare meals of Russian cuisine.
Due to the time difference between Russia and the U.S.A., we decided to ring in the New Year on Moscow time, which was about 4:00 p.m. here in Indiana. Elena told us about their traditional way of celebrating the New Year. She even had a video greeting from her parents to show us.
But back to the Поленница (Polennica). Polennica means logs, or log pile, or log cabin, or stacks of logs. This FABULOUSLY DELICIOUSLY WONDERFUL cake is built like a log cabin.
Each layer is rolled out like individual crepes. Ours were filled with blueberries, but Elena said that typically Поленница is filled with cherries. We think Raspberries would be wonderful too. The "mortar" is sweetened sour cream.
It makes such a beautiful presentation when sliced and is oh so delicious.
It was a very special New Year's Eve in our home. I hope yours was too.
Happy New Year, my friends!
Until Next Time,
Jennifer
