Charoset
charoset
6 medium Gala or Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced*
2 cups walnut halves, lightly toasted, cooled, and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup sweet Kosher red wine or red grape juice**
1/4 cup honey (more or less as desired)
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg (optional)
Dash of clove (optional)
In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients. Store, covered, at room temperature until ready to serve.
* ‘Charoset’ means ‘mortar’. For the evenest texture, we recommend dicing the apples by hand. However, to save time, they can be chopped in the food processor — just be careful not to over process. It should not be the consistency of applesauce.
**Crimson Cabernet by Banrock Station can be found at Countdown
The mixture will turn brown, which is just how it should be.
1 tablespoon per guest will suffice. This mixture will make approximately 8 cups of Charoset, enough for 100 people.
