Ashkenazi Apple and Walnut Charoset
Charoset, an integral part of the Passover Seder, is a combination of fruit, nuts, spices, and wine meant to symbolize the mortar used by the enslaved Israelites in Egypt. There are countless variations on charoset from Jewish communities around the world, but this apple and walnut version is very typical of the style made by Ashkenazi Jews who hail from Eastern Europe.
INGREDIENTS
-
5 Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and cut into large pieces
-
1 1/4 cups walnuts, or almonds, chopped
-
5 tablespoons sugar
-
1 cup dry red wine
-
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
- Gather the ingredients.
- Fit a food processor with an "S" blade or shredding disc. Feed the apples through the feed tube, pulsing several times to chop or grate the apples as desired.
- Transfer the apples to a large bowl. Add the chopped nuts, sugar, wine, and cinnamon.
- Stir well to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Leftover charoset will keep, covered in the refrigerator, for four to five days.
