Joulutorttu are traditional Finnish jam tarts made and eaten at Christmas. Made with a delicate buttery ricotta pastry and filled with prune jam, they are the epitome of family Christmas food moments for Finnish folk. This recipe has been handed down through the generations and is a longtime family favourite. <br /> <br />I remember as a kid when my mum would start baking these, I'd wait anxiously to get my hands on the delightful little windmill with the surprise centre. <br /> <br />Although there is a bit of work involved in preparing the windmill shapes, one bite into a tart fresh out of the oven makes it all worthwhile. Make a big batch, eat half now and freeze the other half in freezer bags for later.
