1

Soak the raisins in the Grand Marnier for 30 minutes. Drain. Put the drained raisins, candied peel and and lemon zest in a small bowl sprinkle with the flour. Stir with a spoon to coat the fruits with the flour and then knead the mixture into the Refrigerator Dough

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll into an oval about 15 by 9 inches. Spread the dough with the Almond Butter Paste to about 1/2 inch from the edge. Taking care not to stretch the dough, fold the long edge so that it is 1/4 -inch from the opposite edge. Press the top edge down firmly to seal and transfer to a greased 17-by 14-inch baking sheet. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place(75' to 80') until nearly doubled about 11/2 hours

Preheat the oven to 375'. With a fork, mix the egg white and cream and brush it over the top of the stollen. Bake foe 20 to 35 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on a rack for 20 minutes, and then dust with confectioners' sugar
