My charoset

My Sephardic Charoset
Serves about 15
3 dessert apples, sour and fresh of taste, washed, peeled if you like and grated
1 banana, washed, peeled and finely chopped or crushed
juice from 1 lemon
¾ cup / 100 gr. raisins, sultana, washed well and dried with a paper towel
¾ cup / 100 gr. walnut pieces, finely chopped
¾ cup / 100 gr. Almonds, finely chopped or ground
6 pitted dried apricots, washed, dried and finely chopped
6 pitted dried dates, finely chopped
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. sweetened ginger (optional) pressed through the garlic press, or very fine chopped
root ginger
1 tbsp. matzah flour
1-2 tbsp. honey or soft light brown sugar
3 tbsp. kosher red wine
Combine all the ingredients in a non-metallic bowl. Taste and add more sugar or wine if necessary. Keep for one night in the refrigerator before serving, chilled or on room temperature. You can keep it chilled and eat it during the whole Passover week.
Tip: Use an ice spoon for serving the Charoset on the Seder plate.
I wish you “Pesah Kasher”, “Kosher Passover”.
