Host An Unforgettable Book Club Party

In trying to find ideas for a Swedish meal I raided the aisles of the nearby IKEA.  I found a Swedish pancake mix that I wanted to try (Amazon also sells it).  I gave it a more homemade taste by adding some vanilla extract and sugar.

• Before spooning the preserves over the pancake, place them in the microwave for 20 seconds.  You could also make the pancakes with the preserves rolled up inside.
