AUNT IDA'S HAIMISHE HAMANTASHEN 
FILLING:

2 to 3 pkgs. pitted prunes
1 1/2 c. dark raisins
Prune juice
1/4 c. lemon juice
3 oz. chopped walnuts

Stew dried fruits in 1/2 cup water, with added prune juice to more then cover fruit, until tender. Add lemon. Mash together. Mix in walnuts and keep filling covered to avoid evaporation.

DOUGH:

3 eggs
1/3 c. oil
1 1/2 tbsp. honey
1/4 c. very warm water
1/2 c. sugar
4 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

Sift together flour and baking powder. Mix all ingredients together. Knead on slightly floured board to form balls of dough. Divide ball into 3 parts. Form each into a ball. Keep unused dough under bowl. Roll out 1 part of dough on floured board with floured pin to a heavy cookie texture. Use cup or cookie cutter (sharp rim) 3 inch diameter to cut pockets for filling. Use 1/3 part of prepared filling to fill pockets. Use 1 heaping teaspoon filling to center of pocket. Fold 3 sides and pinch together to make a triangle. (Repeat with remaining dough). Put some flour on a cookie sheet lined with foil.

Bake in oven 350 degrees about 15 to 20 minutes until nicely browned. Do not burn.

Now you've got it! Hag Purim!
