These raisin squares, similar to Hermit Squares, bring a warm, spicy fragrance to the kitchen. Because it's not a traditional German recipe, you may wonder why it is featured here.
Check out Oma's Quickies to find out why. Quick and easy, this is a great bar recipe to use for Bake Sales and Potlucks.
With its spicy aroma, these Rosinenschnitten great at Christmas as well. Covered with a lemon butter icing, I alter it using almond flavoring instead - a mock marzipan flavor - hence, a German twist.
Now, personally, I'm really not a fan of raisins.
When given a choice in a recipe between adding raisins or nuts, for example, I'll always choose nuts.
However, my hubby loves raisins. One of his favorite "Canadian" recipes is raisin pie.
And, because I do love my hubby, I'll add raisins, just for him!

That's why this recipe is so nice. With the "German twist" that I love, and the raisins that hubby loves, these "Rosinenschnitten" are a hit.
What a pretty presentation this makes. Adding sliced strawberries on top of the icing just before serving, brings color and a taste of freshness.
