Dried Fruit Haroseth
Last week wasn’t just Persian New Year, it was also the beginning of Passover. Since Daniel is Jewish, I wanted to mark the occasion somehow. I almost always mark occasions with food! This year I tried my hand at making haroseth, a spiced fruit and nut concoction that was completely new to me and will henceforth be in my refrigerator often!
This recipe is so easy it’s embarrassing. You really just chop a bunch of dried fruit up (and to be honest, you can use whatever dried fruit you like) and mix it with some flavorful juice and spices. That’s it. I am told the traditional way to serve haroseth is on matzo at your Passover seder. However, I had two other favorite ways of serving it that were by no means traditional. One: early in the morning when no one is looking, take that matzo, crumble some feta on it and scoop up the haroseth. Salty and sweet were meant to be!. Two: try it on your breakfast yogurt – it was a revelation as a condiment.
