How to Make Algerian Haroset

  1. Combine 1 cup pitted dates, 1/2 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup grated apple, 2 tablespoons sweet red wine, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground cloves in a food processor.
  2. Pulse until a thick paste forms, scraping down the sides as needed. The consistency should be slightly coarse, not completely smooth.
  3. Roll the haroset into walnut-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  4. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy as part of your Passover Seder or as a delicious accompaniment to other dishes.
