JOAN NATHAN'S HAROSETH



Joan Nathan's Haroseth image

The Jewish food maven Joan Nathan serves this haroseth at her family's Passover gatherings. More than any other Jewish dish, this sweet blend of fruit and nuts - a mixture that symbolizes the mortar with which the Israelites laid bricks during their enslavement in Egypt - varies wildly depending on the availability of ingredients. The Nathan family version resembles a Moroccan haroseth rather than the popular American version made with apples, nuts and sweet wine.

Time 15m

Yield About 6 dozen haroseth

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups raisins
2 cups almonds, blanched

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, or to taste

Steps:

  • Grind the raisins and 1 1/2 cups of the almonds together in a meat grinder (see tip). Set aside in a bowl.
  • Grate the apple into the raisins and almonds and add the cinnamon. Mix well to combine.

HAROSETH



Haroseth image

This recipe, adapted from Alon Shaya of Domenica Restaurant, an Italian restaurant in New Orleans, plays on traditional haroseth. Moscato wine takes the place of Manischewitz, and hazelnuts for almonds. A spin on a recipe from Mr. Shaya's mother, Joan Nathan brought it to The Times in 2011.

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup white wine vinegar (kosher for Passover, if preferred)
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup Moscato d'Asti wine or sweet kosher wine
1/3 cup onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup honey
1 cup dried figs (about 8), hard stems removed, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 cup pitted dates, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup good-quality apricot preserves
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 orange
1/2 cup whole shelled hazelnuts or blanched almonds
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, wine, onions, apples and honey. Simmer over low heat until the onions are transparent, stirring gently so the apples retain their shape, about 15 minutes.
  • While apples are simmering, combine figs, dates, apricot preserves, and lemon and orange zests and juices in a food processor. Pulse a few times until combined but not puréed. Transfer to a mixing bowl. When the apple mixture is ready, add it to the bowl and stir gently to combine; there may be excess liquid, which will gradually be absorbed into the fruit.
  • Spread hazelnuts or almonds and the pistachios on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a kitchen towel and roll the towel gently to remove the skins. Lightly chop the nuts and add to the bowl. Add salt, allspice, cardamom and cinnamon, and fold gently to mix well.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight so flavors meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.

APPLE AND WALNUT HAROSETH



Apple and Walnut Haroseth image

This very classic Ashkenazi haroseth, which is a ceremonial part of the Passover Seder, is made from diced apple, toasted walnuts, a touch of cinnamon and a shower of sweet Passover wine. It's meant to represent the mortar used by the Israelites when they were slaves in Egypt. The sweeter the apples you use, the less honey you'll need to add at the end. But tart apples are nice here, too, as long as you balance their acidity. If you can't get Manischewitz or another sweet Passover wine, ruby port is a fine substitute. You can make this haroseth one day ahead and store it in the refrigerator; just mix it well before serving to reincorporate any liquid that might have seeped out of the mix.

Categories     dips and spreads

Time 45m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup/150 grams walnut halves
2 large or 3 small firm, crisp sweet apples (1 pound), such as Fuji or Gala, peeled, cored and diced in 1/4-inch pieces
5 tablespoons sweet Passover wine, such as Manischewitz, or ruby port
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon honey, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more to taste
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spread walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven, stirring once or twice, until fragrant and golden-brown at the edges, about 10 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack to cool.
  • Finely chop the nuts and place in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss to coat. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. Taste and add more honey and cinnamon, if you'd like.
