Grandma Skeet's Prune Kolaches recipe

20 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup warm water

1 teaspoon salt

1 egg

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

3 cups bread flour

1/4 cup white sugar

3 teaspoons bread machine yeast

2 cups pitted prunes

2 cups prune juice or water

1/4 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, or to taste

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

Place the warm water, salt, egg and 2 tablespoons butter in the pan of a bread machine.

Add bread flour, 1/4 cup sugar and yeast.

Close the lid, and set machine for the DOUGH cycle.

While the dough is mixing, combine the prunes, prune juice, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, cloves and lime juice in a saucepan.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until prunes are soft and the sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat and blend together with a mixer until smooth.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease a large cookie sheet.

In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour.

Stir in melted butter and cinnamon to make a crumbly streusel.

When the bread machine signals the end of the dough cycle, pinch off egg-sized balls of dough and place them on the greased cookie sheet, leaving some room between for them to grow.

Press a shallow hole in the center of each one, and fill with prune filling.

Top each of the kolaches with some streusel.

Bake for 14 to 16 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.
