Bohemian Kolaches With Four Fillings
Received this in an email - it is a big recipe with four wonderful fillings. I suspect each filling as listed would fill the many kolaches this recipe will make. The first go round i plan to halve the recipe probably quarter two of the fillings. Btw, myrtle did not indicate whether the apricots were fresh or dried - i am going with dried when i make it. She didn't give a cook time either - so watch closely after 15 minutes. No yield either so i am guesstimating on 100+. Thanks, myrtle killian!!
