Directions:Dough:
Make well with 12 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon rind and mix well. Add lard cut up and mix together with flour into pea sized pieces. Add well beaten eggs, and wine as needed to give the dough the needed consistency and add the last 1 to 2 cups of flour if needed. Refrigerate dough overnight.
Filling:
Mix together prunes, apricots, raisins, orange peel, applesauce, grape jam, amarene, cocoa, cinnamon, and wine. Add 1 or 2 c. water to cover, stir and cook until of jam like consistency. Jam should just have bubbles breaking surface, about low to medium-low heat. Stir every 15 minutes to keep from sticking or burning on the bottom. After 90 minutes, add a bit more water if needed. It takes about 3 hours total . Then add the nuts if using. If the jam is too moist, add breadcrumbs; if too dry, add Karo syrup. Jam may be refrigerated or frozen.
Cookies:
Roll dough into a sheet. Place jam along the long side ribbon like and roll just once so that the bottom is closed. Cut into 2 inch pieces with a crimped edge cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake in 350º oven until dough is golden brown about 20 to 25 minutes. |

Notes: This is Grandma's original recipe. I would suggest only making 1/3 of dough at a time since it is more manageable. You may not need the extra flour if the eggs are large. Mom did not put nuts in the filling but substituted a box of currents. I did not add the currents or nuts and it came out fine.
