Ashkenazi Haroset

Recipe Description

What is Ashkenazi Haroset? Best described as a sweet, loose, paste-like combination of fruit, spices, wine and matzah meal. Traditionally eaten at a Passover Seder meal to symbolize the clay – the work and the mortar of the slaves in Egypt.

Every family has their own recipe and mine combines apples, honey, sweet red wine chopped walnuts or almonds and a teaspoon of cinnamon. I personally love it!

To make Ashkenazi Haroset, you will need the following ingredients:
