Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog! I appreciate it. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't had kolaches in a long time. My mom used to make them for my stepdad and I really loved them. She made several kinds and the ones I liked best were apricot and prune though I'm not normally a prune fan.
My gram has made them with apricots, too! I don't know how far back in our family this particular version originated, but I can tell ya the last time I was out on the Iowa farm was about 37 years ago!
ReplyDeleteOh My I heart Koalaches we drive to Ennis Texas to get them fresh. They recently raised their prices so i was wanting to try my hand at them. My dd loves the cream cheese ones she always gets a dozen to herself. LOL
