10 minHaroset is one of the most meaningful foods on the Seder plate, symbolizing the mortar used by the Israelites, and Bibs Soles’ version is a keeper.
Spy apples (or any firm, tart apple) get finely grated in the food processor, then mixed with chopped walnuts and hazelnuts that still have a bit of chunk to them for texture.
Sweet kosher wine goes in slowly, a few tablespoons at a time, until the mixture comes together into a thick, spoonable paste.
The combination of tart apple, earthy nuts, and sweet wine is something you’ll find yourself snacking on straight from the bowl long before the Seder starts.
Kitchen Tips
- Use firm, tart apples like Spy, Granny Smith, or Braeburn. Soft apples turn to mush in the food processor.
- Add lemon juice right after grating the apples to keep them from browning, especially if making this ahead.
- Pulse the nuts rather than running the processor continuously. You want chunky pieces, not nut butter.
- If you make this in advance, it will thicken as it sits. Just stir in a splash more wine before serving to loosen it back up.
Ingredients
Directions
Peel and core apples. Cut in quarters. Chop in food processor until finely grated.
Transfer to a bowl and stir in lemon juice, if using.
Add nuts to food processor and chop until finely chopped but with a few little chunks of nuts.
Stir into apples.
Add wine slowly - a few tablespoons at a time - until the mixture looks like a paste.
(If you make this ahead, you will probably have to add more wine as mixture thickens slightly on standing.)
