CHAROSES AROUND THE WORLD
No matter where you live or what you call it- charoses, charoseth, haroses, or haroseth- look no farther than the Passover Seder meal for the richness of the Jewish Diaspora.
What’s meant to represent the mortar that our ancestors used to make bricks in ancient Egypt takes a variety of forms. Many are a far cry from those Ashkenazi recipes of raw chopped apples, nuts, wine, and cinnamon with which most of us grew up and continue to eat at our American or Canadian family table.
We may be used to a near-fruit salad type of charoset, but among these recipes from every continent except Antarctica, you’ll also find it in the form of compotes, pastes, syrups, and even sweet balls that can be eaten as desserts or snacks any time of year.
We hope these recipes bring you pleasure and launch new food traditions at your Pesach table!
