Kifli Apricot Filling
Kifli is a traditional Hungarian cookie. It can be filled with either
a fruit or a nut filling. The recipes provided here are for the Dough,
an Apricot Filling, and a Nut Filling.
This apricot filling is essentially a very thick apricot jam (and is
very good that way). Do not use store bought jams as they are too thin
and will run out of the cookie while baking.
