Suiting the season we have chosen three recipes for you that you can easily prepare yourself. The recipe for "Home-made apple-pumpkin jam" originates from the Romantik Parkhotel Graz and this jam can be used as spread on the breakfast table as well as it can be an extra on a gourmet cheese plate. The Romantik Hotel Jagdhaus Waldidyll in Hartenstein is responsible for the recipe for "Roast apple with nuts", a sweet delight that is traditionally part of the winter/Christmas season in most parts of Germany.
