If you love perogies, you will love this sweet Mennonite variations. Wareneki with sweet, ripe plums, a sprinkling of sugar and a splash of cream make the perfect cozy dessert, or an extra decadent breakfast!

Mennonite Plum Wareneki – dessert perogies

Home cooked food

I did not grow up eating many of the traditional foods from my Mennonite heritage. However my Dad did and he has often talked about how much he loved these sweet perogies his Mom used to make called Wareneki.

He brings them up at least once a year and I have always wondered what they were like. Perogies always feel super overwhelming to me to make, but they really aren’t they just require a little patience to roll out the dough and fill them.

The dough itself is super simple, and comes together in min. These are sweet Wareneki but you could also fill them with more traditional fillings like cottage cheese or a potato filling.

I wanted to make the plum variety because those are the ones my Dad remembers so fondly. This was my first time attempting them, and I don’t know what I was so scared of. They really are simple to make, and now my kids can grow up having the same fond memories of them as my Dad!

Ingredients

To make these sweet plum wareneki you will need:

Dough

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 cup of sour cream

Filling

  • Fresh small plums cut in half OR if your grocery store doesn’t currently have any in stock regular plums sliced thinly or in bite size chunks
  • sugar

Some fresh cream splashed on top takes these over the top, with an extra sprinkling of sugar too of course!

To make your wareneki dough, mix all your dry ingredients together in a bowl or a stand mixer. Add in the egg white and cup of sour cream. Mix by hand or with a paddle attachment in your stand mixer until the dough comes together. Need until the dough forms a soft smooth ball.

Wrap in saran wrap and stick in the fridge for one hour.

Assemble your plum wareneki

to assemble your wareneki, remove your dough from the fridge after one hour. Roll your dough out on a floured surface until it is very thin, at least 1/4″ but even better if you can get it to 1/8″ thick.

After Jade and I ate our batch of plum wareneki I decided next time I make them I will roll the dough out even thinner to 1/8″ thickness.

Once your dough is rolled out I used a circle biscuit cutter to cut out circular shapes to fill with plums. The one I used was 3 7/16″. Next place either half of a small fresh plum into the centre of your dough, or your sliced or cubed regular plums.

Sprinkle liberally with sugar and fold over pinching the two sides together firmly.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and drop in your wareneki. Once the wareneki float to the top cook for another 2-3 min and they are done. Remove with a slotted spoon, sprinkle with sugar and a splash of cream and serve!

One of my favourite traditions is Shepherd’s Night. We eat be candle light and always a have a simple dinner, as we imagined the Shepherd would have had. Usually it’s soup and bread but tonight we are doing a simple stew. It’s amazing what a table full of candles can do for a simple meal! Merry Christmas everyone ❤️🕯️🎄
