Charoseth at Seda Night
April 9th 2007 12:12
Each year when most people are eating chocolate eggs for Easter, Jew are celebrating an important religious event called Passover (Seder Night). The date signifies the Jews freedom from slavery by God as is recounted in the parting of Red Sea story. Seda Night includes a ritualistic family meal in which various chants are read and special foods consumed. One such food is called charoseth, an apple mixture. It is said to represent (and resemble) the mortar that the Jewish slaves were forced to use to build the pyramids for the Egyptians.
This is the recipe my Grandmother uses each year;
Ingredients:
2 Red Apples
100 Grams Almond Meal
Cinnamon
2 Tablespoons Red Wine
Method:
Wash and peel the apples. Use a grater to fill a bowl with slivers of the apples. Mix thoroughly with the almond meal and red wine. Add cinnamon to taste. To be eaten with matzah. It really tastes very nice, with a fragrant flavour.
