Haroseth With Chestnuts, Pine Nuts, Pears and Dried Fruits image

Haroseth was served for Passover at Seders in Roman times, if not earlier, and versions exist all over the world, adapted for the fruits and nuts available. This recipe from Italy contains no spices, relying instead on a vibrant mix of fresh and dried fruit for flavor - so use the ripest and sweetest you can find.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about this haroseth. It's just a bowl of chopped fruit and nuts.

This haroseth is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

This haroseth is a waste of time and ingredients. It's bland and tasteless.

I followed the recipe exactly and my haroseth turned out really runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This haroseth is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a nice change from the traditional apple and walnut mixture.

I'm not a huge fan of haroseth, but this recipe is pretty good. The pears and dried fruits add a nice sweetness and the texture is nice and chunky.
