It is March and almost time for Purim, it actually falls this week on the 19th. Along with the recipes that I posted for the Corned Beef and Cabbage and the Irish Soda Bread this has been one of the most visited posts on my blog during the last month or so. So I thought I would give you a little redux...
Here is a link to my previous post. The story of Purim and the recipe are there. I have been making Hamantaschen with and for my kids since they were in nursery school. I have tried many different recipes, but I have been making this particular recipe since 2006 or 2007 and they are always delicious. They are our favorites. These are adapted from Marcy Goldman's "
A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking ". I gave my copy of this book to a dear friend from Germany who admired it while visiting me and sat in my home one afternoon reading through it for hours. I just had to give it to her, thinking I would just order another for myself. I went to order another copy and then found it was out of print at the time. Much to my horror I only found one used for over $100.00. I kept on looking and was able to eventually get another used copy. This is a must have book if you are interested in Jewish baking. Luckily for everyone there is a newer edition...a 10th anniversary edition is available now.
A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking
I may be working on another recipe this year, stay tuned...but for now...here you go, it has never let me down.
HAMANTASCHEN
