Fresh fruit adds natural sweetness and reduces sugar content.

Preheat the oven before starting the recipe.

Put 1 stick of butter and 1 cup of sugar into the base of a mixer.

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Crack 1 egg into the mixture and continue creaming.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, zest of 1 orange, and juice of half a lemon to the mixture.

Use a sifter or strainer to catch seeds while squeezing the lemon juice into the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of milk to the mixture.

Prepare a flour-based mixture to add to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Be generous with the filling to avoid the hamantaschen bleeding out during baking.

Pinch the corners tightly to seal the hamantaschen.
