Orange Date Charoset

My wife had difficulty eating apples for much of her life, so years ago we hunted for a non-apple charoset to serve at our Pesach seders. We hit upon this Sephardic recipe that I have modified slightly. She loves it so much that even though she could probably tolerate a traditional Ashkenazic apple charoset, the orange version has become our stand-by. More importantly, it works pretty well with bitters herbs on a Hillel sandwich.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup dark raisins
  • 2 cups pitted dates
  • grated peel and juice of 2 oranges
  • ¾ cup almonds or walnuts
  • ⅓ cup sweet wine or red grape juice

Process all the ingredients in a food processor to make a chunky paste.
