Poppy Seed Filling

Hamantaschen with Poppy Seeds

Poppy Seed Filling is a classic Hamantaschen filling and my personal favorite. I like making it from scratch and giving it a little extra love by adding rose water and vanilla. Be sure to try this filling in our fun and delicious Unicorn Hamantaschen recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup poppy seeds
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp food grade rose water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • zest of 1 orange

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine poppy seeds, honey, milk and orange zest
  2. Bring to a boil and simmer on low until mixture thickens - about 8-10 minutes
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, rose water and butter
  4. Let cool slightly and add to a food processor or blender. Pulse or blend to desired consistency
  5. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use

I make mohn with egg in it. Cooks up like a custard and thickens as it cools. Everyone’s fave!
