Haroset

Haroset is a traditional offering at the Passover Seder. It's slightly sweet and slightly tart, representing the mortar the Hebrews used to make bricks in their forced labor to the Egyptians.

Haroset

1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped dates
4 tablespoons apple juice
2 green apples, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar

In a small bowl, soak raising and dates in the juice for several hours or overnight. In food processor combine all ingredients together. The consistency may be as course or fine as you like. Makes about 3 cups. Refrigerate until use.
