I usually buy the canned poppyseed filling to use with rolls but this time decided to make my own.
I purchased some preground poppyseed and made a paste with it (manufacturer claimed fresh, made on demand - so sounded good). But I noticed right away the paste would not reduce to a smooth texutre, but remained grainy/sandy. It also has a bitter aftertaste. I tried cooking it longer on a lower heat hoping that would smooth it out, but no luck.
Since the paste I've used from cans in the past is always smooth and sweet tasting, I feel this can't be right for fresh prepared paste?
Hoping someone out there might prepare this kind of paste now and then and be able to help me troubleshoot the problem.
Is there something I should have done that would have prevented this outcome, or does it sound like I was sent old/rancid poppyseed?
Thanks for your help!
