Another fantastic kolache filling that works just as well in Danishes. Funny how that works, isn’t it? You need:
2 cups dried prunes
water or prune juice to cover
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
zest of 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch ground cloves
Place the prunes in a small saucepan and add water or prune juice to not-quite cover. Bring the mixture the boil, turn off the heat and let stand for 20 minutes. Cool the prunes and remove any pits. Here I’m working a half quantity.
Remove the prunes to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and blend to a slightly chunky paste.
Done!
