APPLE AND WALNUT HAROSETH



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.

CLASSIC APPLE HAROSET



Classic Apple Haroset image

I found this recipe while searching for new dishes to introduce for the Zaar World Tour of 2005. With the holidays coming up, I've decided to post it though it is as of yet untried. Use the shredding attachment on the food processor to quickly shred the apples. You can also grind or chop them. Don't refrigerate more than two hours before serving or the haroset will be too watery.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Granny Smith apples are a good choice for haroset because they are tart and hold their shape well. You can also use other tart apples, such as Braeburn or Honeycrisp.
  • Use fresh walnuts: Fresh walnuts will give your haroset a better flavor and texture than stale walnuts.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Don't overcook the apples: The apples should be cooked until they are soft, but not mushy.
  • Add spices to taste: You can add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to your haroset to give it a more festive flavor.
  • Serve haroset at room temperature: Haroset is best served at room temperature so that the flavors can fully develop.

Conclusion:

Apple and walnut haroset is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It is a popular dish during Passover, but it can also be enjoyed year-round. With its sweet and tangy flavor, apple and walnut haroset is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
