LEKVAR (PRUNE FILLING OR PRUNE BUTTER) | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Lekvar (Prune Filling or Prune Butter) | Just A Pinch Recipes image

This prune filling is a cooked, thick jam or spread (like apple butter) that can be used to fill cakes, cookies or used as a jam on toast or muffins. Growing up I ate delectable prune-filled pastries thanks to my Slovak grandma! Smelling this while it is slowly cooking on the stove reminds me of her. Keep this covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. It can also be frozen if you aren't going to use it all at once.

HUNGARIAN CREAM CHEESE COOKIES WITH PRUNE LEKVAR RECIPE ...



Hungarian Cream Cheese Cookies With Prune Lekvar Recipe ... image

This is a very flaky cookie that has been in my family years. My grandmother passed it down to all. I've seen it called many other names but in my house we've nicknamed it: Mom's Hurry Up Cream Cheese Cookies, because if your kitchen is too warm they do become a bit difficult to handle. So if you plan on having a day of baking.... do these first! You're gonna love them. NOTE: Very easy to make total time includes refrigeration of 1 hr if your kitchen is warm from holiday baking.

Total Time 1 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 1 hours

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
2 cups flour
1 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) jar prune jam

Steps:

  • Cream together the cream cheese and butter.
  • To this, add the flour - in small portions by hand.
  • When it comes together, turn over on a lightly floured surface and add the rest of the flour to form a dough (IT WILL BE SOFT - but it should be smooth)
  • Refrigerate for about 1 hour.
  • Roll out to about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface.
  • Cut into squares about 2 x 2 and fill center with about 1/4 tsp of the lekvar.
  • Bring together opposite corners and pinch and fold over.
  • Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet for about 15 - 20 minutes until lite gold at 350F (Be careful not to let them burn).
  • While still warm, role in powdered sugar and let cool.
  • Once cooled, repeat the powdered sugar coating once more.
  • You can use any flavor lekvar or even an almond paste.
  • It just has to be really thick so it doesn't run while baking.
