Hamentaschen
- 2 quarts blackberries
- 3 cups agave nectar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon arrowroot
- 1/2 cup poppy seeds
- Basic Gluten-Free Pastry Dough (page 32)
- Combine the blackberries, agave nectar, lemon juice, arrowroot, and poppy seeds in a large pot.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Let simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Set aside to cool.
- Pour the jam into an airtight container.
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Roll the dough out onto a clean work surface to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds.
- Drop a teaspoonful of the jam filling into the center of each circle.
- Identify three separate, equidistant points on the edge of the rounds to create a perfect triangle.
- Grab the dough at these three points and bring them up one at a time around the filling to form a tent and pinch the points and seams together, leaving a bit of the filling exposed (as pictured).
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes, rotate, then continue baking for 7 minutes more, or until the edges are browned.
- Remove from the oven and let stand on the baking sheets for 10 minutes.
