Cheroset Recipe

• 1 cup chopped, peeled apples

• 1 teaspoon honey

• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

• 1-2 tablespoons grape juice

• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

• Mix all ingredients. Serves 12 at 1 heaping tablespoon per person. This mixture is so tasty you may want to make extra.

• NOTE: Charoset is supposed to turn brown to represent the old fashioned brick mortar the Israelites used in Egypt, so it should be ground to that consistency (a blender or food processor is recommended). The above proportions are very approximate. It should be sweet but the honey flavor should not dominate. The taste of each ingredient should be subtly noticeable in the final mixture.
