Apricot Puree \index{apricots!apricot puree}
Put apricots in a bowl, cover with water. Soak for a few hours. If the
apricots are sour, add honey or sugar. Add a few drops of lemon juice and
any other spices you'd like. (Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, etc. Experiment!)
Cook over a low flame until the apricots are soft and the water is thick.
Transfer to a food processor or blender and mash well.

the dough circles are folded into the triangular hamentaschen.
