Apricot Prune Kugel

Amy Brown

Here's a recipe for Apricot Prune Kugel for Passover. Baba said she isn't making kugel this year because she's making a turkey and stuffing it and the stuffing is just the same as kugel. So I'll make kugel.

I looked for the recipe and couldn't find it, so I asked on Twitter but no-one's suggestion looked quite right. (Kugel means different things to different people.) Then I looked in my cookbook again and realized the recipe was just formatted weird, and I actually do have it. So I'm posting it here for the interest of googlers everywhere.

Ingredients
  • 16 dried apricots
  • 12 prunes
  • 2 heaping cups matzo farfel
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup raisins
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 apple, grated fine
  • 1 cup orange juice
Instructions

  1. Soak the apricots and prunes in hot water (I don't know for how long) and then drain and chop them.

  2. Pour hot water over farfel; drain. Add oil and egg. Mix in fruit and all other ingredients.

  3. Turn into square baking dish. Bake at 350°C for about 1 hour.
