Fruit-Filled Puffs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup matzo cake meal
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 large eggs
3/4 cup nondairy whipped topping
3 cups strawberries -- thinly sliced
3 medium kiwi fruit -- coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
Preheat oven to 450 F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick
cooking spray; set aside.
In medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, the oil and vanilla; bring to
a boil. Stir in matzo cake meal and salt; continue cooking, stirring
constantly, about 1 minute, until mixture no longer sticks to side of
saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in eggs, 1 at a time, stirring
thoroughly after each addition.
Drop dough by 12 rounded tablespoonfuls, 2" apart, onto prepared
baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to 400 F. and bake 10-15 minutes longer, until browned and
puffed. Cool completely on rack, then slice in half horizontally.
To fill, fit a pastry bag with 1/4" diameter star tip. Fill bag with
whipped topping. Divide fruit evenly among bottom halves of puffs. Pipe or spoon 2 tablespoons topping over each filled half. Place tops on puffs and drizzle 1/2 teaspoon chocolate syrup over each.

Sweet-Potato Tzimmes
4 large sweet potatoes -- peeled and diced
1 butternut squash -- peeled and diced
4 tart apples -- peeled, cored and diced
1/3 cup Passover wine -- sweet and red
1/2 pound prunes -- pitted and halved
1/3 water
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well to distribute the liquid evenly. Dump into a baking dish and seal the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and a lid. Bake 1 hour at 350 F. Cool.
To serve, reheat, then empty into a serving dish. Don't serve it out of the pan you cooked it in (the movement into the serving dish squeezes juices out of the fruit). It benefits from being made ahead and then reheated.
