We had a passover feast at church on Good Friday. I was asked to research the recipe for Charoset (or Haroseth) last year and make some for our passover feast last year. Before that I hardly had any idea what it was! I'm posting this recipe mainly for those folks who had it on Friday and said they liked it so they can make it for themselves.
Charoset is part of the Passover table's seder plate that contains 5 foods symbolic of what the old testament Israelites went through in the Exodus. Charoset represents the mortar the Jewish slaves used to assemble the Pharaoh's bricks. This recipe is one of the many versions of charoset - as different versions exist all over the world.
Charoset Balls
500g almonds
1kg walnuts
500g yellow raisins
500g sultanas
1/4 cup ribena cordial slightly diluted or red wine
1/2 tsp Cinnamon, optional
1) Grind almonds in food processor separately first but not till powdery. Then add the walnuts and process till fine. Add cinnamon if using.
2) Add the raisins and sultanas and process again. Drizzle ribena or wine on the mixture and pulse once or twice till the mixture comes together.
3) Form 3cm diameter balls from the mixture.
Makes about 200 balls.
