I need to post a quick note to let you know that we are making a last minute effort to make some Hamantaschen for the Jewish Holiday of Purim that falls on Sunday.
Hamantaschen
Hamantaschen are traditionally baked and eaten for Purim. They are small triangular pastries or cookies that are filled with poppyseed, or fruit filling. It seems like there is a yeasted pastry version, and a cookie version. Since it’s a last minute decision to make them, we are using our cinnamon roll dough which happens to almost perfectly match the yeasted version’s recipe; and we will be filling them with raspberry filling. I’m not sure how they will turn out. If they look good, we will be selling them tomorrow morning. If not, we will probably have some samples for you to try.
I’ve put the March bread schedule up on the website. I was planning to put Cranberry Pecan Bread back on the schedule, but I found out a few days ago that Pecans have nearly doubled in price over the past couple months. So, we will be having Cranberry Hazelnut Bread instead. I personally like the flavor of hazelnuts better in bread anyway. Other than that, most everything else is the same.
