Julskinka – Christmas ham
A lot of American families eat ham for their Christmas dinner, and Sweden is the same way. Their ham is just like our ham, but they use the cut pieces in a smörgås, which is just Sweden for a sandwich!

Pepparkakor – Gingersnaps
These cookies are very close to our traditional gingerbread cookies. They are hard and thin, which makes them easy to dunk in hot chocolate or tea. They are not very spicy, but can be made into many different shapes.
