Description

The basic Eastern European (Ashkenazic) haroset is adapted from Joan Nathan’s The Jewish Holiday Kitchen. In our family, it wouldn’t quite feel like Passover without a few bites of this.

See Ann Holzman's article on haroset.

Ingredients

  • 6 apples, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 2⁄3 c chopped almonds
  • 3 T sugar, or to taste
  • 1⁄2 t cinnamon
  • 1 lemon rind, grated
  • 4 T sweet red wine

Instructions

Combine all ingredients, mincing thoroughly and adding wine as needed. It can be left chunky, or blended to the desired consistency. Serve chilled.
