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.

Time 45m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

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.

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.

Yield About 6 dozen haroseth

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

3 cups raisins
2 cups almonds, blanched
1/2 apple, peeled, cored and quartered
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.
Using your hands, press the mixture into 1-inch balls. Using the remaining almonds, press 1 into each haroseth. There will be lots of haroseth left over; serve in bowls at the table during Passover.

PROVENçAL HAROSETH FOR PASSOVER

Provençal Haroseth for Passover image

This is a 13th-century haroseth recipe from Provence, using the Mediterranean fruits and nuts that are still available in the region. Back then, Jewish families would have saved chestnuts from the fall harvest and roasted or boiled them for this springtime Passover recipe - and then laboriously peeled them by hand - but now you can buy cooked, pre-peeled chestnuts any time.
