Norwegian Pork Rib “Sylte” / Ribbesylte
A Classic Norwegian Christmas sandwich spread and
buffet accessory found on matprat.no 
“Sylte” is a classic Norwegian Christmas sandwich spread that many still make at home. It can be made from pork ribs like in this recipe or from the meat in the pig’s head. The last was a tradition in my childhood home and my sister and I thought the big pig’s head my mother brought home was both fascinating and gross. On the other hand, we had nothing against the finished product. And “sylte” is still one of the things I’m looking forward to when it’s getting close to Christmas.
“Sylte” is usually eaten on wholemeal bread topped with either strong, sweet, Scandinavian mustards or pickled beetroots or wrapped in lefse with the same accessories.

Cured Beef / Gravet Oksekjøtt
A traditional curing recipe found on grytelokket.com
In the old days, curing meat was a virtue of necessity, while it is today generally considered a delicacy. Many believe that curing meat is difficult, but it is actually a much easier process than most imagine. With this recipe for cured sirloin of beef and mustard sauce you can try for yourself.
My brother in law, a very skilled cook, makes a wicked cured beef for Christmas every year and serves it with cherry tomatoes, fresh dill and horseradish sauce. For me it is one of the absolute culinary highlights of Christmas season.

Cranberry & Port Gravy / Tyttebær & Portvinsaus
A tasty Christmas gravy found on TescoRealFood
This recipe is based on turkey, but I guess it would be delicious with the Scandinavian Christmas diners done the same way as well, both the Danish goose or duck, the Swedish glazed ham and the Norwegian pork ribs. All of them leave a lot of tasty juices in the roasting tray, and we Scandinavians are after all crazy about cranberry jam – Ted
