Notes
Looks the prettiest served fresh, but you can store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.
If you don’t have dried cranberries, raisins are a great fit.
- Save on prep time: Carefully pulse the apples, pears, and walnuts in a food processor instead of chopping them by hand. Be careful not to overprocess them into a paste, though.
- Taste as you go: As you’re making the charoset for Passover, give it a taste and add more apples, juice, and spices as needed to help balance the flavors.
- Toast the walnuts: We recommend toasting the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat before adding them to the charoset. This releases their natural oils, taking their flavors to the next level!
