   They can have any filling... fruit or berries, jam, powidl (a very thick jam-like plum or prune concoction), curd cheese, any kind of kasha, potatoes, meat or poultry, mushrooms, fish (smoked salmon or lox), etc.

   The consistency of powidl is only achieved by evaporating water from the overcooked fruit mash. The traditional method used is to overcook and thicken the fruit mash in copper cauldrons or stone pots (Pisch 1902).
