When I first told Walker about this Danish favourite, he wondered why anyone would ever mix apples and bacon, but he decided to make it anyway, since he'd promised me a DANISH Christmas dinner. Besides this we had pork roast, and red cabbage. In a few minutes, Walker's going to whip up some Danish rice pudding for dessert.
Walker happily ate the red cabbage and the pork smoothered in gravy, and finally decied to sample the abelflisk. HE LOVED IT!!!!!!!! He absolutely LOVED it, and decided then and there that whenever there was a pot luck, we'd bring a big bowl of it. It was totally different than anything he'd ever had before.
As luck would have it, there was a little bit of the stuff left after, along with some of the red cabbage. Since the dinner at the Presbyterian church would be pot luck, we decided to bring some. We had the Danish meal for lunch, and then had dinner at the church about an hour later, because Walker's boss made him work on Christmas eve. Two meals in two hours was really something. We're both stuffed.
We took the leftover abelflisk and red cabbage to the church, and both dishes were a BIG hit. When people asked where to find the recipe, I told them about my cookbook.
Now I hear the blender going in the kitchen Walker is whipping the cream, and we're going to have rice pudding soon.
I'm so glad I married a man who loves to cook as much as I love to eat.

I love Christmas for two. Everything was DELICIOUS, with a few unique twists, since you are your own unique person. I know it took Mom a long time because she would cook an entire roast, enough cabbage for 10 (made from a can whereas you made it from scratch), abelflisk was made in advance and frozen so that didn't take time to heat up, but the bottom line is she cooked for enough people to make prep time take all day. Two people is a NICE NUMBER for a quick and easy but DELICIOUS Danish meal.
I hope you'll cook more recipes from my cookbook. Thank you for making this such a wonderful Christmas.

Like I said, your Dad wasn't sure he'd like it at first, but he knew I LOVED IT and would eat the batch if he didn't, but then he tasted it and loved it too. Now we ae going to have it as often as possible.
Are you going to cook it for your brothers and sisters? You once told me you enjoy cooking and your Dad confirmed that
Merry Christmas!!
So sorry you were on Santa's naughty list.
Make '08 great.
After eating two meals in two hours it's hard to imagine eating the pudding for desert.
This looks delicious. I believe it is a version of what we call fried apples in WV.
