Ingredients

  • 5 ounces sparkling wine such as Prosecco or Champagne
  • 1½ pounds raspberries frozen work well
  • ½ pound strawberries frozen work well
  • 4½ cups sugar
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1¼ cups flour + more for rolling out dough
  • 1 whole egg
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 1½ cups Sparkling Berry Jam chilled

Instructions

  • Sparkling Berry Jam:1. Simmer sparkling wine, raspberries, strawberries, sugar, and salt over medium heat until sugar dissolves. 
  • Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes, until berries are broken up and fairly mushy (in a good way). If any scum appears on the surface, use a wooden or metal spoon to skim it off. 
  • Test for set-point by placing a teaspoon full of jam on a plate and placing the plate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. If the jam has developed a skin and is holding together, take off the heat and cool. If not, continue cooking for another 10 minutes before testing for set-point again.
  • Cool completely before filling hamantaschen. Jam can be stored for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Hamantaschen Dough:
  • Pulse sugar, butter, cream cheese, egg yolk, and vanilla In a food processor until combined. 
  • Add flour and pulse until dough forms a ball.
  • Turn dough out onto counter and knead a few turns until smooth and elastic. Flatten into a disk and wrap in plastic. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days, or freeze for 1 month.
  • Assembly:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Whisk egg and water together and set aside.
  • Roll out dough on lightly floured surface. Cut into 3-inch circles.
  • Spoon a small amount of jam into center of dough. Lightly brush edges with egg wash. Form into triangle, being sure to pinch edges tightly together.
  • Place on lined baking sheet. Continue with remaining dough.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
