Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

-------------------------DOUGH-----------------------------------
1 1/4 c Melted shortening -not just peel)
1 c Sugar 4 c Flour (scant), sifted with:
3 Eggs -- beaten 1 ts Salt -- and
1 Grated lemon (whole 3 ts Baking powder

------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
(fills 1/2 of dough recipe) 1 c Raisins
2 lb Partly cooked pitted prunes 1 Orange or 1/2 lemon
5 tb Or 6 Tb Jelly (whatever kind 1 c Nuts
-you have on hand) Shake of cinnamon

Combine the dough ingredients to form dough. Grind the filling
ingredients together with a food grinder.

Roll out the dough and cut circles with a glass. Put a spoonful of
filling in the center of each circle, and fold up sides of the dough
to form triangular filled cookies.
Bake at 400 F until lightly browned.

I haven't actually made this recipe, but I've been enjoying the
hamentaschen for years.

For poppyseed filling, I think I'd just use the solo filling from the
can. I've made my own hamentaschen using various jams for filling,
with some success. Good luck.
