Joulutorttus with plum jam filling

A joulutorttu (Finnish lit. 'Christmas tart", Swedish jultårta; sometimes known as tähtitorttu 'star tart') is a Finnish Christmas pastry. It is traditionally made from puff pastry in the shape of a star or pinwheel and filled with prune jam and often dusted with icing sugar. The pastries can be in other shapes and apple jam used in places of the prune jam.

Joulutorttus are mostly made in Finland. The pastries in Sweden are usually accusied of being in a "swastika" shape.[1][2]
