Burning Yule log recipe & history of the pagan yule log | #21daystilyule | Day 12
#yulelog #yulelogrecipe #yule
Hi lovelies and welcome in my Christmas kitchen. Today we are preparing for Yule - and a wonderful and festive celebration. And of course, that means great food and some fun pagan traditions served with it.
And in today's video, you will get both - folklore and history of the yule log and my specially created recipe for an extravagant flambeed yule log made of a light chocolate sponge cake and glühweininfused rosehip jam, filled with a creamy Italian hazelnut cream, covered in dark chocolate and well, its a yule log so of course we are going to cover it in candied fruit and marshmallow fluff, douce it with cognac and light it on fire. Your very own edible burning yule log!
And yes, this recipe is a bit more complicated than my other ones, but I challenge you - especially the ones that keep commenting that they are no bakers, to make this. As long as you follow the steps described, there is nothing that can go wrong and you will create a holiday masterpiece - yes, I am talking to you. personally.
By the way, the tradition of burning a yule log, date back to pre-Christian times and probably derives from germanic paganism. It is said that it was a vital part of the yuletide and that a log of oak or ash tree was lit at the hearth on midwinter to welcome the return of the sun and light. The following twelve days it would be burned bit by bit and the ashes sprinkled onto the land, people, and into the food for the animals to bring fertility and growth and protection in the coming year.
Nowadays very few peopñle still burn an actual yule log, but Over time, people have revered this tradition to making festive yule log table decorations with candles in it or cakes like these. The edible version is actually a french tradition and has spread to Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Lebanon, Syria, and several former French colonies such as Vietnam, as well as the United Kingdom and Spain.
A written document back from 580 states that the Bishop Martin of Bracara actually prohibited the pagan tradition of burning wine and fruit over a log during winter times. People obviously didn't listen and kept to their beliefs, as in 753 Bishop Pirim had to renew this law. And as he wasn't successful either, the tradition slowly got taken over into Christian beliefs and from the 12th century, the burning of a yule log is mentioned for the first time as a Christian tradition on a german document.
I thought it would be fun to honor the traditions more than 2000 years old, so today we will also be burning fruit and alcohol over our yule log.
And to honor these more than 2000 years old traditions - we will flambee our yule log!
