Runeberg torte (5th february )

Runeberg torte

Runeberg torte is a Finnish pastry flavored with almonds and arrack or rum  often raspberry jam is add on top of the torte inside a sugar ring.

Those are tarts made in honor of Runeberg a Finnish national poet and sold on the 5th of February! honoring the birthday of the poet.

It’s delicious my internship tutor told me about it and gave me recipe and gave me one of her home made Runeberg torts for the occasion!!!According to a legend Runeberg enjoyed the tort every morning with some punch.

Friendly regards from Finland
