Charoset is one of the most symbolic dishes of the Passover Seder meal , representing the mortar used by the Hebrews in Egypt. This sweet mixture of , and spices evokes both past suffering and future hope. Present on every Seder plate, charoset is also a truly delicious, natural, and gluten-free treat . Soft, fruity, and fragrant with cinnamon, it's quick to prepare with simple ingredients, often already in your kitchen. Some families add dates, figs, or almonds, but the Ashkenazi version with fresh apples is one of the most common. Delicious on matzah, it can also be enjoyed by the spoonful, for breakfast or as a snack.
A Passover essential, as tasty as it is meaningful.
