Ingredients
3 medium apples, such as Fuji or Honeycrisp, peeled and finely diced
1 c. toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
1/4 c. golden raisins
1/4 c. sweet red wine, such as Manischewitz
1/2 tbsp. honey
1 tsp. lemon zest
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
Preparation
The only thing we wouldn’t recommend subbing in here, is your more standard red wine. In this recipe (and in many American households) the key to a good charoset is using sweet, Kosher wine like Manischewitz. The taste borders on grape juice and lends a ton of flavor and sweetness to balance out the tart apples. Charoset can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If preparing in advance, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice to prevent apples from browning. Made this?
