INSTRUCTIONS
This is the ritual first dish of the 12 course Christmas Eve Supper.
The wheat represents the staff of life, the honey represents the
Spirit of Christ Dry wheat in 250 degree oven for one hour, stir
occasionaly. Wash, soak in cold water overnight. Next morning, bring
wheat to boiling point, simmer for 3 - 4 hours, until kernels burst
open. Scald poppy seed, simmer for 3 - 5 minutes. Drain, grind twice
using the finest blade of food chopper. Set aside. Combine honey and
sugar in hot water. Set aside. After all ingredients have cooled,
combine in one bowl and add the chopped apples (if desired). This dish
is to be served cold and will not keep well at room temperature. Store
in fridge until ready to serve. If anyone found this to be
interesting, leave me a message and I can post more of the traditional
Ukrainian dishes. From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at
