Iraqi Charoseth for Passover Seder

 

Here is my nephew Eli at a Passover Seder in 2015.

My sister, Cheffie, found this recipe a few years back and we have given up our traditional Ashkenazi charoseth of walnuts, apples and wine in favor of this one.  It brings a spark of sunshine into our Passover meal.

 

Ingredients

½ cup pine nuts

2 apples, peeled and grated

1 cup sugar

Cinnamon to taste

Allspice to taste

4 hard-boiled egg yolks, mashed

1 cup ground almonds

2 lemons, juiced and zested

¾ cup golden raisins

Preparation

  1. Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl and chill.  Serve at room temperature.

Yield: 8

Next: Mushrooms, Eggs and Onions →
