    I haven't made this yet but have printed the recipe. Made stollen for years. For those who don't use much whole wheat flour, store it in the freezer and it will last a lot longer. Will also add a little cardamon to stollen!

    Great! I used to make stollen every Christmas, but haven't in nearly 20 years. Never made it with rum, though! - 12/5/08

    Come on people. this is a fruit cake. Of course its going to have lots of ingredients! I don't eat it myself, but because it is on the healthy side, I will try making it for my husband who loves fruit cake and is part German. And as mentioned before, it is a holiday treat, not made everyday. - 12/5/08

    This looks so good-I love fruitcakes and I love bread and I love wholegrains! Hard to streamline this type of recipe, they're just naturally full of all kinds of good things...unlike the unhealthy ones that are mainly full of 3 ingredients: white flour, white sugar & fat. I plan to try this one! - 12/5/08
