My mom recently passed away and took her pierogi recipe with her. I tried this recipe - and it was hers! She usually used farmer cheese in her potato and cheese recipe. I also experimented with fruit filled pierogi (my mom never made these, my grandmother always did) and I used canned prune filling for some and apple pie filling (fairly well drained)for another batch, and they tasted just like my grandmother made. Then I went one step further, and sauteed the fruit pierogi in unsalted butter and brown sugar, and served them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. WHEW! What a dessert!
