My Daughter Samantha’s Haroset

Yes this is a traditional recipe for Passover celebrations but it’s so delicious that why not serve it all year round?

Ingredients:

4 large firm apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped

2 cups finely chopped walnuts

2 tsp. white sugar

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 tsp. lemon zest (optional)

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 overprocess.  It should retain a slightly rough texture.  The haroset will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
