Turkish Haroset

This fruit-filled haroset would be excellent on matzo for a snack during Passover, when leavened bread is forbidden. And it's good spread on toast for breakfast the rest of the year. Try it with Gala apples.

Yield: 1 1/2 cups (serving size: 2 tablespoons)

Ingredients

• 1/2  cup  whole pitted dates
• 1/4  cup  raisins
• 1/2  cup  sweet red wine
• 1/2  cup  dried apricots
• 1/4  cup  dried figs
• 1/2  apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1/3  cup  orange sections
• 1/2  cup  chopped walnuts

Preparation

Combine dates, raisins, and wine in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature 8 hours or overnight.

Place raisin mixture in a food processor. Add dried apricots, dried figs, apple, orange, and chopped walnuts. Process until almost smooth, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
