Charoset ...as offered

[Guest guest]

Charoset is a mixture of chopped nuts, apples, and

wine which, to the eye, resembles the mortar used by

the slaves in the construction with bricks in Egypt.

However, its taste is sweet freedom, thus symbolizing

the redemptive transition from slavery to freedom.

 

Try this Pesach recipe (from Out of Our Kitchen

Closets)! Its one of my favorites.

Jiraph - do you just eat this with a spoon? Or put it on something?

Whichever, it looks delicious!

On a piece of matzo. Dab on some horseraddish, which might help open your

airways while you're at it! :^) Mmmmmm.
