Well, it’s that time of year again. Time to buy 3lbs of prunes and make lekvar!

Despite feeling like absolute crap today, probably due to a bug one of my coworkers passed on to me, I made the traditional Sarik Easter breakfast pastries, with apricot, lekvar, and walnut fillings.

Pile on the filling…

Roll it all up…

Tuck it in…

And here are 3 of the 6 rolls, bulging with yummy filling. I made 3 lekvar, 2 apricot and one walnut, mostly because the amount of walnut filling turned out to only be enough for one roll. I should note that I used a half pound of walnuts for that one roll! I am all about cramming in the fillings.

I also received a little gift from Jag: a cupholder for my spinning wheel! Sleeping Beauty could have avoided a lot of trouble if she’d had one of these to keep a triple espresso at hand. (Mine has OJ, to help with the crud.) It’s very sturdy and quite cleverly designed; you can get one for many models/brands of spinning wheels here. Just remember, be responsible: don’t drink and ply.
