lekvar - online puzzles

Lekvár is a very thick, sometimes coarse jam of pure ripe fruit originating in Central and Eastern Europe. It is usually made of fruits like apricot, peach, strawberry, plum, prune, raspberry, cherry or sour cherry, but apples, green whole walnuts, muscadine grapes or figs may also be used.

Lekvár is used in filling palacsinta pancakes, pastries like Buchteln (or buchta), kifli, or strudel and other sweet yeast breads, pastries, cookies, and pierogi, as a spread on toast or biscuits, and in fruit sauces. In Jewish communities, lekvár is a common filling for hamentashen.
