lekvar (aka prune filling) is basically cooked and pureed prunes. I never fill my hamantashen with just the lekvar, because it is boring. I always add lemon juice, allspice, and cinnamon to it first, and used to add chopped walnuts until we had grandchildren with nut allergies. There is NO prune hamantash that tastes quite like that filling. My Bubby and Mom, aleihen hashalom, made their fabulous hamantashen that way (as do I), and it was and still is an often requested recipes by friends and neighbors when they received shalach manos from us.
