    This little Spice mix is one of the most important European spice blends during Christmas time.

    In the alpine region, it is the main ingredient while baking Lebkuchen cookies and without the spice mixture, it wouldn't be a Lebkuchen.

    These brown inviting and often decorated cookies are a form of the worldwide known Gingerbread and in dictionaries, the Lebkuchen is often translated as Gingerbread cookies.

    Yet, this European spice blend mix can be used during Christmas time in different dishes as well.

    Some talented bakers and cooks came up with Lebkuchen style Cakes and Tortes, as well as Spicy Lebkuchen fruit Marmalades.

    Then of course you have the option to use the spice mixture in savory dishes such as in a meat  marination.

    The Spices combined help you to experience the merry Christmas time, in other words the aroma takes you to a traditional colorful and warming Christmas Market.

    They warm your heart from within when the days are white and grey outside and they bring a certain peace to your heart.

    All this of course are my feelings whenever I take in the unique aroma with my nasal senses.

    Each time, my heart jumps up in joy when I use the spice blend in my cooking, the smell is just so comforting and relaxing!

    Usually, the Lebkuchen spice mixture is not made at home anymore in European households.

    Commonly people buy the ready-made packs, but I don't think so that this spice mixture is available in the rest of the world.

    Therefore, and because we have a spice quality surplus in goa, I decided to share with you this wonderful Christmas spice blend and I am quite sure that it will come handy to you after all.

      What a fabulous spice mix! I could see it used in not just cookies, but breads and cakes, puddings and creams. Love it! I'm signing off for the holidays and wanted to stop by and wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season. See you next year my friend!
