Charoset

Traditional Charoset

Ingredients
-apples
-cinnamon
-grape juice
-almonds

Some people pulverize everything is a food processor, but I prefer to make "Chopped Charoset"

I also never measure anything for charoset I just start chopping apples until I am happy with the amount and add the other ingredients as I go.

I use whole almonds, and find that the roasted almonds break easier than the raw ones plus it give a nice roasty flavour to the charoset.

The easiest way to crush the almonds is to put them in a strong zip-loc bag and roll them with a rolling pin. You can roll them basically to powder if you so desire.

This batch I think I used about 8-10 medium apples, 1tsp of cinnamon, about a cup of almonds, and 1/4-1/2cup of grape juice.

If you want to get really fancy with your charoset you could add rasins, chopped dried apricots or any other dried fruit, add a little honey to sweeten it up, or try including a little ginger or other sweet spice to it.
