Charoset is a favorite dish of mine, while some people may eat this apple salad only for Passover, I think this is a wonderful side dish that can be eaten at any time. For me the fact that Passover and Easter are so closely tied means lots of good meals that can be shared together.
Charoses, if you have never had the dish is made of apples, nuts, cinnamon, lemon juice, wine, and whatever else you care to throw in with it. There are many different varieties of charoses that are made, and it is my understanding how it is made can give rise to your ancestry. Now my version of charoses is very simple.
Charoset
Chop apples quickly, and squeeze lemon over the chopped apples. Mix wine and honey together, blend well together. Pour wine and honey over the apples, stir in nuts and add fresh cinnamon and nutmeg. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.

I had Charoset for the first time at a book club meeting last year. It was so delicious, I thought I could eat it everyday!
I have never tried Charoses before. I love all sorts of salads with made with apple, but I have never thought about adding wine into it. I can’t wait to try this. I feel that the wine will really enhance the flavor of the apples. Thanks for posting this.
Our Charoses recipes look pretty simliar. I think the type people make is dependent on people’s ancestry in terms of being from Sephardic (Mediterranian) or Ashkenazi (Eastern European) descent. This recipe is Eastern European. A Sephardic recipe can have raisins and dates and other fruits like bananas along with nuts and the usual … cinnamon, honey, etc.
My mouth is watering now. I can’t wait to make our Charoses tomorrow.
Happy Passover!
