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.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to omit the walnuts from this recipe. It was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with them.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more spices.

This haroseth was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less honey.
