Passover Recipes

Susan Longo's Haroset Recipe

Note: For best results, use dried fruit that is soft and fresh.  

Ingredients:
25 pitted dates
10 brown dried figs, stems removed
20 dried apricots
1 cup yellow raisins
1 cup dried cherries 
1 1/2 Granny Smith apple, peeled 
1 pomegranate
2 cups pecans 
1 cup blanched sliced almonds
3/4 shelled pistachios (unsalted)
1 tbs cinnamon (optional)
1 tbs cardamon (optional)
Sweet red Pesach wine - Not Manieschewitz

Chop all the dried fruit and nuts. Use a hand chopper for a coarse chop not a blender which makes a pasty consistency. Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Add just enough wine to bind the ingredients together. Chill overnight. Makes about 5 cups. (This haroset is chunky-not a paste).
