Super Easy

This week I made Kolachy. So I needed some fillings.

I chose the apricot, prune and cottage cheese fillings - they are the most traditional.

I was surprised at how easy and simple the fillings are to make.

Three ingredients keeps the filling  mostly fruit.

The sugar adds just a touch of sweetness - it is a cookie after all. It should be a little sweet.

The hardest part about this recipe is running the apricots through the food chopper.

Apricots tend to have a thicker skin, so you have to run them through the mill quite a few times to get the pulp.

The end result is fairly creamy, while still having some tiny chunks of apricot.
