The triangular-shaped cookie is usually made with fruit jam or poppy seed filling, but Hamantaschen filled with chocolate chips are a favorite with children (who make great helpers) in the kitchen. The name “hamantaschen” means “Haman’s pockets”, and  they are named after the villain in the Purim story, Haman, who was said to have worn a three-cornered hat. The pastries are traditionally eaten during the festival to celebrate the defeat of Haman and the salvation of the Jewish people.

These strawberries are easy to make and impressive-looking. They make nice gifts or additions to a table of sweets.

To make these, you will need a chocolate melting pot and paint brushes along with your ingredients.* The most important thing to remember when working with chocolate is to make sure everything is dry. If a spoon is wet, the chocolate will curdle and you will not be able to use it or this purpose (although adding a great amount of water will make it a nice chocolate drip for  cake).

When your strawberries are dipped and decorated, to transport them put a dab of melted chocolate on the tray where you will be placing the strawberry. Set the strawberry on top, let it dry on the tray, and this will stabilize it.

When I was a teenager my mother took me with her to a class on working with chocolate. I really enjoyed it and started baking and making chocolate pieces because of her. She is gone now and making these reminds me of her.

I serve sheermal as an accompaniment to mutton on the occasion of Eid. Sheermal are very flavorful and little sweet. If you don’t like sweetness you can reduce the amount of confectioners’ sugar in the recipe.
