Gløgg
Gløgg is the classic Danish version of mulled wine containing ingredients such as red wine, sugar, spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves and bitter orange and akvavit. To prepare Gløgg, spices are mixed into the wine, which is then heated to 60°-70° Celsius. The temperature should not be allowed to rise above 78.4° Celsius in order to avoid evaporation of the alcohol. When preparing glögg using spices the hot mixture is allowed to infuse for at least an hour and reheated before serving. Gløgg is a part of Christmas parties served with æbleskiver sprinkled with powdered sugar and accompanied with strawberry marmalade. Gløgg can also be made alcohol-free by replacing the wine with fruit or blackcurrant juice or by boiling the gløgg for a few minutes to evaporate the alcohol. In Denmark non-alcoholic Gløgg can be bought ready-made. These days there are many variations containing white wine, Madeira , brandy or vodka. Gløgg is very comparable in taste to modern Wassail or mulled cider.
Here is the recipe I use to make traditional Gløgg.

Klejner
Klejner are loop shaped fried biscuits traditional eaten around Christmas in Denmark and are made with flour, eggs, sugar, butter. The dough is rolled out and then cut into strips. The uncooked strips are covered in plastic wrap and left to rest for two hours in a cold place. They are then fried in either oil or Lard and the dough expands into shape. This is the recipe I use at home which creates klejner that is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.
