Persian Haroset, De-spiced for American Children
From Joan Nathan
1995

Ingredients

1 c. walnuts

1 c. almonds

1 c. raisins

6 strawberries

1 c. dates, pitted

2 apples, cored, pitted, and quartered

1 banana, cut up

1/2 c. sweet wine

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. pepper

Directions

Grind all the ingredients together in a food grinder or throw them in a food processor and process until crunchy paste is formed. Or better yet, place in a wooden bowl and allow the youngest member of your family to pound everything with a hand food chopper until it forms the consistency of a crunchy paste.

Yield: 4 cups.

Tip: Try serving this with cream cheese on your matzah for breakfast.
