Charoseth was Re: SC - list newbie/Seasonal food.

All right everybody, let's bring out the charoseth recipes, period or family.
My mom leaves this particular task to me since our family seder is small.  1
apple and about 1 cup of blanched almonds, both chopped fine; cinnamon to taste;
Manishevitz concord grape wine to make the mixture like brick mortar [which it
represents].

It makes a nice sort of sweet relish with poultry and meats.  It would probably
go well with pork, but who would think of that?  It has good keeping properties,
but it never lasts long enough around here to find out.

LOL!  I'll have to bring out that phrase this year at myfather's famous "Evelyn
Wood speed seder"!
