Dough:
Filling:
Mix eggs, margarine, and sugar. Add flour and baking powder and knead.
Rinse prunes and raisins and boil together for 5 minutes.
Combine all filling ingredients in a food processor until smooth. It usually has to be done in batches.
Roll out dough (we like ours thin) and use a glass or cookie cutter to make round shapes. Add a little filling and pinch corners. Make egg wash to spread on each hamantasch and bake at 350°F for 1/2 hour.

I could not let Purim come and go without sharing my grandmother's hamantaschen recipe. All of her grandchildren wanted the recipe, but she never had it written down. So one year I spent the day her with while she baked and wrote it all down. What a great way to remember our Bubbie.
