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

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.

This haroseth is a great way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few apples that are about to go bad, and this is a great way to use them up.

I made this haroseth for my vegan friends, and they loved it! It's a great way to enjoy a traditional Passover dish without any animal products.

I'm not a fan of walnuts, so I substituted pecans in this recipe. It turned out great!

This haroseth was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less cinnamon next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my haroseth turned out really dry. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

This haroseth was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll try cooking it for a little longer next time.

I found this haroseth to be a bit bland. I think it could use more spices.

This haroseth was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.

This apple and walnut haroseth was a hit at our Passover Seder! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the texture was delightful. I especially appreciated the addition of walnuts, which gave the dish a nice crunch.
