There is a spot reserved on the Seder Plate for this fruit  paste, which is meant to recall the mortar the Israelites used to lay bricks in Egypt. Made from chopped dates and raisins, nuts, and wine, charoset stands out as the sweetest food on the Seder table. Courtesy of the Women’s Branch of the OU.

Amazing flavor I wasn't able to make it exactly because I didn't have the means to grind my nuts very well. So, I opted to use 1/4 c ground almond flour and dumped it all in my food processor. I pulsed it until desired consistency and refrigerated as I was making it several days in advance. I was also a bit generous with my measure of ground dried ginger and cinnamon. One other thing: the only wine I had in the house was Manischewitz Concord Grape. The day I made it and tasted it, I thought it was just ok. However, by the time I served it, 4 days later, it was phenomenal. This Charoset bit back! Everyone adored it, even my most finicky eater.
