PASSOVER FRUIT KUGEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 7x11-inch pan. In a bowl combine the eggs, sugar and oil. In another bowl combine the pineapple with the juice, apples and matzo meal. Thoroughly combine the content of the two bowls. Add the prunes and apricots. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

APPLE-MATZOH KUGEL

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 2. Toss the apples with the brown sugar and orange juice, set aside in a medium bowl.
• 3. Break the matzoh into 2- to 3-inch pieces and soak in 1 cup of warm water until soft but not mushy. Set aside.
• 4. While the matzoh soaks, beat the eggs with a wire whisk in a large bowl until blended. Add the salt, sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, raisins, and apricots.
• 5. Squeeze the liquid from the softened matzoh and add the matzoh to the egg mixture with the apples. Stir the kugel well and pour into a lightly greased 2 1/2-quart casserole dish or a 10x14-inch pan. Dot the top of the kugel with the 4 tablespoons of butter.
• 6. Bake the kugel for 1 hour. Cover the top with foil if the top begins to become too brown early in the baking. Remove the kugel from the oven and cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and let noodles cool.
• Beat eggs with cinnamon and vanilla extract in a large bowl; gently stir in noodles. Mix pineapple, raisins, and apple into noodle mixture. Transfer mixture into a large casserole dish and scatter pieces of margarine over the noodle mixture. Spread apricot preserves over the casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until noodles on top are golden brown and preserves are bubbling, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

TRADITIONAL MATZO KUGEL FOR PASSOVER

Steps:

• Soak the Matzo sheets in some water until they become slightly soft. You do not want the sheets to be soggy. They should keep their form yet be easy to break into several pieces without causing too many crumbs. I usually run water over my Matzo sheets.
• Shake off the excess water without worrying if there remains a little extra water. Gently break the Matzo sheets into pieces in a bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Melt the butter in a casserole over a low heat (or in the microwave).
• Beat the eggs well. Add the salt, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
• Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the Matzo pieces. Mix gently until the pieces are covered by egg.
• Wash, peel, core and chop the apples. I used a combination of sour and sweet apples. The choice of apples is up to you.
• Add the chopped apples, raisins and chopped nuts (if you are using). Mix gently.
• Pour the Matzo-egg mixture into a baking dish. Add the remaining butter reserved for the topping by spreading little dots of butter on top of the dish.
• Place the baking dish in the oven and bake about 45 minutes or until golden brown on top.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool about 10 or 15 minutes before serving.
