Thanks for this wonderfully interesting post Ruth. I enjoyed it very much. I agree that the best thing we can do in these terrible times is look after our loved ones and give generously.
Putintaschen made me laugh out loud. 😂 My favorite fillings, I've yet to discover, because (sorry Ruth, I really am) not a fan. But maybe I'll make an exception for your recipe, and enjoy stuffing them (ahem) with blueberry jam and lemon curd in honor of the Ukrainian flag.
I'm glad you got a laugh, Annette! Many folks aren't fans of poppyseed or prune--the flavors really are very old school--but, then, so am I! I saw one recipe that mixed in chocolate with the poppyseed--that might improve the taste (chocolate aways does!). I LOVE the idea of making cookie in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, and blueberry and lemon curd would be awesome! 😊
Ellen, I'm determined to try the marbled cheesecake hamantaschen sometime soon--maybe a nice change from prune and poppyseed! I'll let you know what I think!💜
Wonderful post, Ruth! And I love the painting of the kitty in the Hamantaschen hat!
Thanks, Jolene! It's the work of a talented artist who just happens to be married to my son.💕

Thanks so much, Marg! Since we can't physically join the fight, those are truly the best options. But I still can't help feeling it's not enough.😢
It’s better than doing nothing.
Of course it is!
Yes! Putintaschen! One of the reasons for annual celebrations is to reinforce the lessons of the past!
Hey, Moira, I couldn't agree more! Down with villains, past and present!
Ha ha. Looking forward to my favorite prune putintashin.
Thanks, Judy! Coming right up!😘

Loved the renaming of the cookie and thanks for the shout out
