Tu B’Shvat Strudel (a very different kind)
As promised, here is my Tu B’Shvat recipe for your enjoyment.
In our family this recipe goes back at least all the way back to my great-grandmother. When my mother was 19, my grandmother suffered a stroke from which she did not recover. Along with all the other losses, my mother mourned, she was sorry not to have learned my grandmother’s secrets in the kitchen. Then one day she discovered this recipe scribbled on a piece of paper. That was very unusual, since my grandmother was not in the habit of writing down recipes. This is how I can now share it with you.
Unlike the traditional strudel, this one has a thin, dry crust and moist fruity filing. The filling in this recipe combines apples, raisins, date spread, and nuts. However, you can choose to fill the strudel with just about anything you have in the house: fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, cream cheese, pineapple, or coconut. Whatever filling you choose, it’s a good idea to add some jam to bind everything together and add moisture and sweetness.
