    Doralee Patinkin's Charoses


    Source of Recipe


    "Grandma Doralee Patinkin's Holiday Cookbook," by Doralee Patinkin

    12 large Granny Smith apples
    3 cups ground pecans -- toasted
    1/2 cup Concord grape wine
    or
    1/2 cup Malaga wine
    1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/3 cup honey -- (for a sweeter
    -- flavor)

    Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. and toast the pecans for about 15 minutes. Watch so that they do not burn.

    Core the apples and cut into chunks. Place all the ingredients in a food processor. Using the steel blade, pulse on and off. Do not let the mixture become watery. It should be "mildly coarse," resembling mortar, which it represents on the seder plate. Should you have have a problem getting the right texture, add more ground nuts. By the way, I never use the honey.

    Yield: 24 servings

    Note: Doralee suggests doubling the recipe.
