It is easy to make and requires very little effort. Rosenmunnar can be enjoyed as a snack or with coffee or tea. Traditionally, it is made with raspberry jam, but other flavors such as apricot, strawberry, or blackberry can be used.

4.	Press two-thirds of the mixture into the bottom of a greased baking dish while reserving the remaining mixture to sprinkle on top.
