CHERRY KOLACHES



Cherry Kolaches image

I AM of Czechoslovakian descent, and baking kolaches is my specialty. These sweet yeast buns with fruit or poppy seed filling are a true Czech tradition. They are also popular in other Slavic nations, which sometimes use the spellings kolacky or kolachke. From a young age, I've enjoyed baking. But it wasn't until we retired from farming and moved to town that I started making large quantities of kolaches. The Cherry Kolaches recipe I'm sharing reflects my filling preference. But I also make apricot, apple, pineapple, prune and poppy seed kolaches. I make my fillings from scratch, but you can easily use canned filling instead.
