I’m not sure if ‘Wonderful Leg of Lamb’ is actually the name of this dish but it was the best I could do with the help of Google translate.
The recipe is in Icelandic.
It’s from an Icelandic magazine.

Apple Bread with Cider & Calvados.
First things first…. What is the difference between apple juice and apple cider?
If you live in the US apple juice is made from pressing apples, then removing all the bits, pasteurizing it and bottling it for long shelf life. It may or may not be sweetened.

Both of my freezers are full to bursting.
