my family used to spent christmas exactly the same as yours before moving away from Poland. we had a hay under tablecloth from newspaper. my grandpa used to kill the carp and i had never tried a dish with carp in it on christmas. my favourite dishes when i was young were also barszcz z uszkami i pierogi, because we only ate them homemade once a year – the christmas was really special. i miss those times. thanks for all the recipes!
p.s. i really love your cat Yoshi!

Thanks, Dagmar! Sorry I didn’t manage to thank you earlier, but your comments were very useful – my uszka and barszcz turned out beautifully and even got a compliment from my mother-in-law!

Hi Jacqueline, I’m sorry for the late answer but I didn’t see your comment until now. We always make the uszka in advance and put them in the freezer. But we always cook them before. On Wigilia we just put them in each person’s bowl and cover with really hot barszcz! Good luck with your Christmas preparations!

Dear Dagmar,

Thank you so much for this! My mother-in-law is half Polish and as a tribute to her Polish roots, my husband’s family has always celebrated Wigilia. This year it’s going to be my turn, being the eldest daughter-in-law, to cook and host the dinner. It’s my first time and I’ve been looking everywhere for more information about the food and traditions.
I found your description really useful – thank you!

Would you happen to know whether it’s possible to make the uszka in advance and freeze them? Some people say you can, but only if you cook them before putting them in the freezer. Is this true?
