The NHMRS is pleased to welcome the return of Rollkuchen and Watermelon to the Relief Sale! Rollkuchen is a deep fried pastry that, combined with watermelon, makes a common summertime meal amongst Low German speaking Mennonites that came to North America from the Ukraine.

The group sponsoring the Rollkuchen and Watermelon are a group of Low German Mennonite women. They will be making the Rollkuchen by hand on site and frying them in homemade fryers called “discos”. These discos are made from the disks of the discer farm implement.
