Maghrebi Charoset is a dried fruit and nut based paste served during the Jewish celebration of Passover by Jews from Northwest Africa.

[edit] Ingredients

• 1½ C white raisins
• ½ C dried apricots or dried peaches, chopped
• juice of two oranges
• ¼ C chopped almonds
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. ginger, preferably freshly grated
• 2 tablespoon honey
• 2 T matsoh meal

[edit] Directions

1.Plump dried fruit in juice.

2.Mash reconstituted fruit with almond and spices to get a mortar-like texture.

3.Adjust texture with matsoh meal and if needed, sweeten with honey.
