Filled gingerbread always takes me back to my childhood. We used to all get together and cut out gingerbread together with Grandma. Three generations baking gingerbread, so to speak. I still make my grandma's recipe the same way nowadays. Only the filling was supplemented by a few dried fruits. Especially dried apricots and plums taste wonderfully aromatic. With a dehydrator you can dry your fruit in the summer for the winter months or you can buy them in an organic or unpacked store, the offer is fortunately getting bigger and bigger.
BUY INGREDIENTS AT GREENROOT
A really great organic unpacked store is for example the Greenroot am Marktgraben in Innsbruck, which is only a few meters away from the old town. The offer here is varied and comes mostly from regional producers. The great thing about unpacked shops is that you can determine the amount of food yourself, so you only buy what you really need and you only pay for the actual weight of the contents and not the packaging. To do this, you simply take your own containers or paper bags to the store and fill them with the amount you need. In my case, for the filled gingerbread, it was dried apricots, dates, raisins, plums and flour, all in organic quality. By the way, if you don't have one with you, you can get a bag on site.
