Notes:
--From Jane: These are great formed into little balls about 1 inch in diameter, press with thumb to form a depression in the center and fill with jam before baking.
--From Tim: In bringing this cookbook together I've been researching some of the ingredients. The seasoning mix above was originally listed as Mahleb in one recipe and Shumra in another. I've found that it is both, Mahleb is the dried cherry pit that is ground up and Shumra is fennel seed that is ground up. I have changed the ingredient to Mahleb/Shumra to reflect this. If this is still not correct, please let me know.
