Carolin and Hanke Jensen turned around three hectares of arable land into two vineyards and grow fungus-resistant PIWI varieties to organic criteria. The grapes are picked by hand and vinified in the farm's own cellar. The wines are called Favorit, Duett, Kompliment, Applaus, Frohsinn, Polar, Solstice and Jubel – lean, fresh, with clear acidity. 🍷 Where to buy / taste 🍷 Weingut Jensen, Am Dorfplatz 2, 24989 Dollerup · Do & Fr 14–18 Uhr, Sa 10–15 Uhr 🎟 Fjordwein-Führung inkl.

Always serve sweet with a counterpoint: fruit sauce with salt meat, compote with fried fish, prunes with roast goose. The culinary balance principle of this region. Pears, beans & bacon Mehlbüdel + cherry sauce + bacon Rumtopf compote with vanilla ice cream Frisian bean soup + vanilla ice cream Fruit sauce with fried fish Groten Hans + sour cherry + bacon Danish Rødgrød + cream (sweet+sour) ### Renaissance: How the North German classics are coming back For a long time Labskaus, Pannfisch, mashed turnips and kale were dismissed as old-fashioned home cooking – today they are enjoying a remarkable revival. A new generation of chefs is rediscovering the regional classics, cooking them from seasonal, often **organically certified** ingredients and reinterpreting them with respect for the original. The movement is driven by the _Slow Food_ idea, by short supply chains and by pride in the region's own culinary heritage. What was once the leftover cuisine of poor sailors and farmers – pureed Labskaus, Pannfisch from the leftovers pan, mashed turnips – now sits confidently on the menus again. Chefs like Benjamin Spack (Smager on the Schlei) focus on game and organic produce, Piet Krohn (Piet am Fischmarkt in Flensburg) turns smoked eel and Labskaus into a delicacy, and at the Roter Haubarg near Witzwort, Galloway beef and salt-marsh lamb come straight from the neighbourhood. Smager (Fleckeby/Schlei) – game & organic, Monday game day Piet am Fischmarkt (Flensburg) – smoked eel & Labskaus Roter Haubarg (Witzwort) – Galloway, lamb shank, Matjes Mashed turnips & Sauerfleisch in Slow Food restaurants Seasonal & regional instead of convenience Kale & Pannfisch reinterpreted ### 🗓 What's in Season When Spring First Schnüüsch · Spring matjes (from June) · Elderflower · New potatoes Early Summer Matjes season (June) · Strawberries for Rumtopf · First Rote Grütze · Crabs High Summer Schnüüsch at its peak · Koldskål · Rote Grütze · Cutter fish · Gravenstein apples (DK) Early Autumn Pears, beans & bacon · Elderberry soup · Open the Rumtopf · Plums for Rumtopf Winter Kale (after the frost) · Mehlbüdel · Pharisäer · Grog · Risalamande · Gløgg · Flæskesteg Advent Förtchen / Æbleskiver · Braasch Advent courtyards · Christmas rum · Kransekage · Honningkager **A note on restaurant tips:** Opening hours and menus change seasonally.
