About 6 dozen haroseth

Preparation

  1. Grind the raisins and 1 1/2 cups of the almonds together in a meat grinder (see note). Set aside in a bowl.
  2. Grate the apple into the raisins and almonds and add the cinnamon. Mix well to combine.
  3. Using your hands, press the mixture into 1-inch balls. Using the remaining almonds, press 1 into each haroseth. There will be lots of haroseth left over; serve in bowls at the table during Passover.
  • Although members of the Nathan family never use a food processor for their haroseth, it’s a little easier than the meat grinder. Coarsely grind the raisins, 1 1/2 cups almonds, apple and cinnamon as in Steps 1 and 2, using quick pulses so as not to overprocess.
