Stollen

I love stollen, but I am always disappointed to find the stollens without marzipan in Japan!! In this recipe, the amount of marzipan is much more than the ones we can buy at stores. I love to use rum-soaked fruits (I feel like the Christmas is around corner when I start to prepare fruits in rum), but I didn't use them this time for kids and moms.
I learned that Stollen bread represents a blanket and the marzipan is the baby Jesus. We slice it and eat one by one till Christmas. And it should be better to let it rest than to enjoy it fresh from the oven.
