Charoset
Charoset, a diplike Passover dish made with fruit and ground nuts, symbolizes the mortar that the enslaved Israelites used to bond bricks. This Ashkenazic version, containing apples, walnuts, and sweet wine, comes to us from the mother of our colleague Leslie Jonath. This dish was featured as part of our Recipes for Passover photo gallery. Game plan: Though charoset is traditionally served as part of the Passover Seder, it’s also appropriate for a Rosh Hashanah meal.
Ingredients
- 11⁄4 Cup toasted walnuts
- 1 lb granny smith apples peeled cored and cut into large chunks
- juice of 1 2 lemon
- 1⁄4 Cup kosher sweet wine such as manischewitz
- 3⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- matzo for serving
