Fancy Haroset

Haroset

This “fancy” haroset is crunchier than a typical haroset because you dice the apples. This makes the texture more like a relish than a paste. The ginger also elevates it.

A quick primer: Haroset is a mix of apples, nuts, and cinnamon that is used in the Passover Seder to represent the mortar that the enslaved Jews used to build pyramids in Egypt. Historically, it is sort of a paste of finely-chopped apples and nuts sprinkled with cinnamon and a little sweet wine to hold it together. 

Ingredients: 

1 large apple, diced (do not remove peel)
½ cup chopped dates
½ cup raisins
¼ cup chopped, toasted walnuts
¼ cup chopped, toasted almonds
1 tablespoon honey
¼ cup sweet wine (Manischewitz is ideal)
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Recipe directions: 

Stir all the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl. Let the haroset chill in the fridge for at least an hour or up to a day.
