Ingredients

  • 2 cups poppy seeds whole
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup jam any solid jam: eg, plum, strawberry, apricot
  • ½ Tablespoon lemon zest freshly ground

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grind 2 cups poppy seeds.
  2. In a thick bottomed sauce pan, combine ground poppy seeds and 1 cup milk.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent milk from burning. Add ½ cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup jam, and ½ Tablespoon lemon zest.
  4. Lower the heat and cook until the poppyseeds soften; it takes about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  5. When finished, transfer the poppyseed filling to a bowl, set it aside, and allow it to cool down completely.

Notes

  • Makes about 1 ¾ cup of filling.
  • If you are filling smaller spaces (for instance Czech kolache or kolacky), put the filling in a decorating bag first and spray it over the pastry.
  • Make sure the filling cools down completely before using it.
