The Steinhardts Bake Hamantaschen -- The 10th Anniversary Edition

You have such a lovely family, Zev. :slight_smile:

We just made a batch ourselves. My wife cut the circles (and made the dough and filling), my son wet the edges and I filled and folded. Half were filled with chocolate, and half with jam and oatmeal.

Pics or it didn’t happen.

Zev, I have to ask if you have ever seen the movie For Your Consideration. It is a Christopher Guest (et al) film about making a movie called Home for Purim.

My mom made non-gluten hamantashenn that taste just like the resl thing.

Made three more dozen today. I think I’m done now. Poppy, prune, cherry and apricot.

I was raised Jewish..but I’m an atheist now. I was over at a friend’s place last night. He’s a (Christian) atheist, she’s a (Jewish) atheist. We have a running joke about what religion they’re going to raise their now 10 month old daughter.

So of course I showed up last night and wished them a happy purim.
Once I explained the getting drunk part (which I read on jewfaq.org before heading over), they were happy to join in. :slight_smile:

-D/a

Or you could dye hamentaschen dough green ;).

I’m jealous… I love hamentaschen but there is no place near me that sells them. And I have no time to make them. Of course, these are probably fortunate things, health-wise.

Yuck. lol

We made hamantashen yesterday. The prune turned out far better than the apricot. I think using apricot jam rather than dried apricots was our problem.

My poor husband was a little disappointed. Our daughter decided she’d rather spend much of the afternoon playing with little girl across the street instead of making hamantashen with him. I can only imagine how his sweet heart’s going to break when she discovers boys.

Nope. Never even heard of it.

I had a lovely prune hamantaschen for dessert after dinner this Saturday past.

Then I watched the supermoonrise.

Life was good, that night.

I used to make hamantaschen for the deli I worked at, in Okemos, Michigan. We had date filling and poppyseed filling. As much as I love dates I think I like the poppyseed even more, it was different from anything else, a sort of nutty flavor.

Another Purim when I’ve had no hamentaschen. Alas. At least I can live vicariously through the Steinhardt family tradition.
