Haroseth image

This recipe, adapted from Alon Shaya of Domenica Restaurant, an Italian restaurant in New Orleans, plays on traditional haroseth. Moscato wine takes the place of Manischewitz, and hazelnuts for almonds. A spin on a recipe from Mr. Shaya's mother, Joan Nathan brought it to The Times in 2011.

Time 30m

Yield 4 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup white wine vinegar (kosher for Passover, if preferred)
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup Moscato d'Asti wine or sweet kosher wine
1/3 cup onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup honey
1 cup dried figs (about 8), hard stems removed, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 cup pitted dates, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup good-quality apricot preserves
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 orange
1/2 cup whole shelled hazelnuts or blanched almonds
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, wine, onions, apples and honey. Simmer over low heat until the onions are transparent, stirring gently so the apples retain their shape, about 15 minutes.
  • While apples are simmering, combine figs, dates, apricot preserves, and lemon and orange zests and juices in a food processor. Pulse a few times until combined but not puréed. Transfer to a mixing bowl. When the apple mixture is ready, add it to the bowl and stir gently to combine; there may be excess liquid, which will gradually be absorbed into the fruit.
  • Spread hazelnuts or almonds and the pistachios on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a kitchen towel and roll the towel gently to remove the skins. Lightly chop the nuts and add to the bowl. Add salt, allspice, cardamom and cinnamon, and fold gently to mix well.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight so flavors meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover apples. I had a few apples that were starting to go bad, so I made this haroseth and it turned out great!
