If you want to know a little more about Passover and Haroset, epicurious.com has an article about it with Haroset recipes from all over the world.
Wishing all who celebrate a very Happy Passover!
This is a traditional Ashkenazi (Eastern European) recipe.
Everything to taste, more or less!
makes about 5 cups
4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (I used 2 Granny Smith, 2 Braeburn)
1 1/2 cups walnut halves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup sweet red wine such as Manischewitz Extra Heavy Malaga (I also use the Concord Grape)
1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 - 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, white sugar OR honey (I use white sugar)
Put everything in the bowl of a food processor and pulse it as coarse as you like. Just be careful not to overprocess.
Visit Mary at The Little Red House to see all the mosaics this week for Mosaic Monday!
That looks real good. Happy Passover to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing at MM. :)
ReplyDeleteyum! So nice your make the traditions special.
ReplyDeleteI'm unfamiliar with haroset, Carol. I assume from the photo you serve it with crackers? Thanks so much for the information..I checked out the Epicurious website.
ReplyDeleteHappy Passover to you and yours!
Thanks for the nice comments!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, we serve it with matzoh! but crackers any time other than Passover would be nice with it! I've never made it except for Passover, I know my kids would love it anytime!
Happy Passover!

I'm sure I would have loved it too with the nuts, apples and sweet wine.
ReplyDeleteHappy Passover, Carol, to you and your family!
This is new to me and it sounds very good. Thanks for the link to Epicurious to learn more about it! Happy Passover to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteMy family doesn't puree the haroset, we do small diced chunks. It's delicious. I might have to do half a batch in the food processor. Is there anything better than a Hillel sandwich? That horseradish with the sweet haroset...divine!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try that one day.
ReplyDeleteGreat mosaic.
A blessed Passover and Holy Week.

ReplyDeleteI don't remember this dish being served when I used to take care of elderly Jewish couple. Hmmm, the apples and the walnut are a perfect match.

ReplyDeleteI've attended many of my friend's Passover Seders and I love the sweet haroset and I like the bitter herb too --horeradish is one of my favorites! I love all the tradition throughout the meal.
ReplyDeleteHappy Passover!
I'm late in wishing you a happy Passover but am very happy you got to spend it with family even though you had to give up hosting duties this year. This recipe is a new one for me but I so love to hear of your traditions - especially cooking with grandma!
