Cuisine: American

Ready in 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 c Raisins

6 tb Jelly/Jam

1 1/4 c Melted shortening

3 ts Baking Powder

Fills 1/2 of dough recipe:

1 Orange or 1/2 lemon

1 c Nuts

3 Eggs beaten

Shake of cinnamon

1 Grated lemon (whole fruit,

1 ts Salt

2 lb Partly cooked pitted prunes

4 c Flour (scant), sifted with:

1 c Sugar


Directions

Combine the dough ingredients to form dough. Grind the filling ingredients together with a food grinder. Roll out the dough and cut circles with a glass. Put a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, and fold up sides of the dough to form triangular filled cookies. Bake at 400 F until lightly browned. I havent actually made this recipe, but Ive been enjoying the hamentaschen for years. For poppyseed filling, I think Id just use the solo filling from th can. Ive made my own hamentaschen using various jams for filling, with some success. Good luck. Emily Epstein epsteine@spot.colorado.edu
