JOAN NATHAN'S HAROSETH



Joan Nathan's Haroseth image

The Jewish food maven Joan Nathan serves this haroseth at her family's Passover gatherings. More than any other Jewish dish, this sweet blend of fruit and nuts - a mixture that symbolizes the mortar with which the Israelites laid bricks during their enslavement in Egypt - varies wildly depending on the availability of ingredients. The Nathan family version resembles a Moroccan haroseth rather than the popular American version made with apples, nuts and sweet wine.

Time 15m

Yield About 6 dozen haroseth

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups raisins
2 cups almonds, blanched
1/2 apple, peeled, cored and quartered
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, or to taste

  • Balance the Flavors: Adjust the amount of sugar and lemon juice to suit your taste preferences. You can also add a touch of cinnamon or cardamom for extra warmth.
  • Chill Before Serving: Chill the haroset for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and intensify.
