In Japan, its often hard to find the right ingredients for all those baking recipes from home. So its tends to be a lot of experimenting. :)
This Holiday season I have been baking like crazy. First I made apple spice cookies for a Christmas party I went to. Luckily I didn't need to replace any of the ingredients for this one. Though I did use less sugar, and didn't add the sugar topping..because Japanese people don't really like super sweet things.
Than after that I also baked Gingerbread cookies. The gingerbread cookies taste a bit different, but they seem to be OK. I had to replace the Molasses, which I couldn't find which a product that looked like it would fit called kuromisu (black honey). It seems to have done the job.
Hopefully, I will be able to make fudge next, but it sounds like it might be difficult as I cannot seem to find evaporated milk. I hear that I can use unsweetened condensed milk, but I am not sure. Anybody??
Anyways Happy Holidays!!
