Got this years ago from my son's preschool. Haroset is a spread that you smear on matzoh that is usually sweet. In this recipe the haroset is rolled into small balls. I guessed the amount of servings since I haven't made this yet.

PROVENçAL HAROSETH FOR PASSOVER



Provençal Haroseth for Passover image

This is a 13th-century haroseth recipe from Provence, using the Mediterranean fruits and nuts that are still available in the region. Back then, Jewish families would have saved chestnuts from the fall harvest and roasted or boiled them for this springtime Passover recipe - and then laboriously peeled them by hand - but now you can buy cooked, pre-peeled chestnuts any time.
