HOLIDAY APRICOT KUGEL
I first came across this recipe while visiting my wife's family in Buck's County, PA. It goes great with Thanksgiving dinner as a side dish. The original recipe was savory and comes from Eastern Europe and dates back more than 1,000 years. This particular recipe is most likely a variation of a recipe brought over to the new world by German/Dutch immigrants.

This makes a wonderful side dish or a brunch recipe, it's also great to serve at a buffet! This is not an overly-sweet kugel if you want a sweeter kugel then increase the sugar.

Apricot Cottage Cheese Kugel and Pesach Recipes Explained
The Jewish festival of Passover, or Pesach, celebrates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. During this eight-day event, Jews around the world commemorate the story behind the festival by abstaining from leavened bread and consuming only unleavened matzah. Observing dietary restrictions and seeking out deliciously inventive dishes are just two aspects of what makes this holiday unique. Among the many traditional dishes served during Pesach, the Apricot Cottage Cheese Kugel is a popular choice. This tempting dessert or breakfast item is a type of baked pudding that calls for a mixture of cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and matzah or Passover noodles. To add a touch of sweetness and a burst of fruity flavor, dried apricots are often included in the recipe.The Ingredients
Some basic ingredients in the Apricot Cottage Cheese Kugel recipe include:- Cottage cheese: The cornerstone of this recipe, cottage cheese is a type of curd cheese made from the curdled milk of cows. It is creamy, salty, and tangy, and when combined with other ingredients, it turns into an airy and custardy dish.
- Eggs: Eggs offer a rich and hearty base to the kugel, while also adding to its texture and structure. They are essential in binding the other ingredients together.
- Sugar: Sweetness is the cornerstone of this traditional kugel recipe. Typically, refined white sugar is used, but other forms of sweeteners like honey can provide alternative flavor profiles. Kosher for Passover cane sugar can be used, as well.
- Matzah or Passover noodles: The matzah or Passover noodles are a crucial part of this dish since they replace typical flour or bread. Matzah is unleavened bread made of only water and flour and traditionally eaten during the eight days of Passover. Another option is Passover noodles made with potato starch, tapioca, and/or soybeans.
- Apricots: Dried apricots add a punch of fruity flavor and sweetness to the dish. They are also kosher for Passover.
The Preparation
To make the Apricot Cottage Cheese Kugel recipe, you’ll need to follow a few steps:- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with butter.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar together.
- Add cottage cheese, apricots, and matzah or Passover noodles into the bowl with the egg mixture and stir together until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth out the surface.
- Bake the kugel for approximately 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are a bit crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
Variations
The beauty of kugel recipes is that they can be easily modified to suit different tastes and preferences. For the Apricot Cottage Cheese Kugel recipe, some possible adjustments are:- Switch up the dried fruit: Apricots can be substituted with other types of dried fruit, such as raisins, figs, or dates, depending on what you have on hand.
- Add some spices: Cinnamon or nutmeg are spices that can be included in the recipe for extra flavor and warmth.
- Use cream cheese instead of cottage cheese: While cottage cheese is essential to the recipe, cream cheese can be used instead for a richer, creamier texture.
- Experiment with savory twists: Kugels can easily be transformed from sweet desserts into savory side dishes. You can remove the sugar in the Apricot Cottage Cheese Kugel recipe and add in vegetables like zucchini, spinach or kale instead.
Pesach Recipes
Beyond kugels, there are countless dishes that can be prepared during Pesach. Here are a few favorites:- Matzah Ball Soup: This classic soup’s fluffy matzah balls never disappoint, and they’re perfect for getting rid of any leftover matzah.
- Brisket: A hearty and savory main course, brisket is seasoned with traditional Passover spices like garlic, mustard, and paprika and slow-cooked for hours until it melts in your mouth.
- Charoset: A sweet and tangy paste made with chopped apples, walnuts, and wine, this dish represents the brick and mortar worked by the Israelite slaves in Egypt.
- Passover Brownies: These fudgy, chocolatey treats are made with almond flour and kosher for Passover chocolate. The ultimate chocolate dessert that happens to be Passover-friendly!
