My favorite holiday food item to bake, hands down, is hamentaschen. There is something therapeutic about making the dough, cutting it into circles, and pinching up the sides around the filling. I have used many cookie recipes, but the one I like best includes grated orange rind. My husband's filling of choice is mun, or poppy seed. Once year I made this filling from scratch, and it was a time consuming, sticky mess. Now I buy the poppy seed filling ready made, from the Israeli market.
I have helped make them at preschool countless times over the past years, and look forward to doing it a few more. The boys now help me make them at home, and are sometimes very creative in their 3 cornered shaping. I will make my usual batches this year, and will also try the recipe below:

This blog looks like a great resource, and I plan to explore it further!
Happy Hamentaschening!
