The Jewish holiday of Purim is a festive time for a joyous celebration of an ancient event, when Jews foiled wicked Haman's plot to put their beloved Queen Esther to death. Foods of this holiday vary in different countries. The most popular food is hamantaschen (taken fom the name "Haman"). It's a triangular shaped bread that represents Haman's hat, or ears, or nose, depending on whose version you're reading, and it is usually filled with poppy seed, apricot, raisin or other filling. This is my revised version. Top with poppy seeds before baking.
