My Daughter Samantha’s Haroset Recipe

Filed Under: Salads, Apples, COOK

My daughter Samantha’s haroset recipe is beyond delicious. She doesn’t even care for nuts and yet, she loves this recipe as much as I do.

Although this is a traditional recipe for Passover celebrations, it’s so delicious and we like to serve it all year round. It’s so quick and easy to make!

Samantha’s Haroset Recipe

Haroset (also spelled charoset) is part of the Passover Seder meal. It is used to symbolize the mortar used by the Jews when building the pharaohs’ buildings. Because of this, many people make it with more of a paste-like consistency, but Sam originally learned to make it with a rougher texture. The more you process the apples and nuts, the smoother it will be so you can choose which you prefer.

Ingredients:

4 large firm apples, cored, and chopped (you can peel them if you’d like)

2 cups finely chopped walnuts

2 tsp. white sugar

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 tsp. lemon zest (optional) – you can also use a little squeeze of fresh lemon juice

¼ cup sweet red wine or apple juice

Directions: 

Mix all ingredients except wine/juice together in a bowl. 

Add enough wine/juice to make a smooth mixture and mix in to blend thoroughly. 

The apples and walnuts can be chopped up and the haroset mixed in a food processor however, you must be careful not to over-process if you want to retain that slightly rough texture.

The haroset will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
