Notes to to recipe:  Zelten is a traditional recipe of Trentino Alto Adige for Christmas, made with dried and candied fruits, as many Christmas cakes. All the ingredients are easy to find. The only ingredient typical Italian and of all Alpine areas is Grappa, a drink produced by extracting the alcohol from vinacce, or marcs, the skins and seeds left in the fermenting tanks after the wine is transferred to casks for aging. Unfortunately  we have not found a different distilled liquor to be used instead grappa without changing completely the taste of zelten. All other ingredients are easy to find.
