Rachel Willen's Morrocan Mortar (Sephardic Charoset)

Ingredients

Cooking Directions

In food processor, purée dates until smooth. Add bananas, raisins, wine, and date syrup (or honey) and process to combine. Remove mixture from processor and clean bowl. Place walnuts, pistachios, almonds, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves and process until coarsely chopped but still chunky. Combine the banana/date mixture with the nut/spice mixture and add the grated apples. Store, covered, at room temperature until ready to serve.

Serve with matzoh, as part of the Seder plate tradition, or in endive leaf as an appetizer.
