SEPHARDIC DATE CHAROSET

This is a close approximation of my grandmother's recipe. She used (and I prefer) red wine instead of grape juice, but the option for no alcohol is there for you.

SEPHARDIC CHAROSET

This one contains no wine therefore I don't know how "authentic" it is. It's either a huge typo or I just know diddly about charoset. So-I compromised by replacing 2 tablespoons of the orange juice with red wine or you can use grape juice. Recipe source unknown.

Steps:

  • Heat 100ml wine or grape juice in a pan. Bring to a simmer and add the dried fruit and cinnamon. Simmer gently until the liquid is syrupy and the fruit tender, about 5-6 mins. If the liquid evaporates before the fruit has softened or starts to dry out, add another 20ml of wine or grape juice. Turn off the heat and leave to cool.
  • Tip the toasted almonds into the small bowl of a food processor and pulse until you have larger and smaller pieces, but no whole nuts. Tip them into a mixing bowl, then spoon the cooled fruit mixture into the food processor and pulse until it starts to form a paste, but still has some bigger lumps of fruit remaining.
  • Scrape the fruit into the mixing bowl with the nuts and stir to combine. Add a pinch of salt and taste, adding more cinnamon and salt to taste, if you like. Will keep for several days in an airtight container.

SEPHARDIC-STYLE CHAROSET WITH DRIED FRUIT AND NUTS RECIPE
Unlike the apple, nut, and wine-based Ashkenazi charoset, Sephardic charosets veer more toward dried fruit, balanced spices, and a variety of nuts. The result is a delightful texture and real depth of flavor. As a bonus, Sephardic charoset even looks more like the mortar that charoset was designed to symbolize.
