Charoseth

This chopped apple salad is used at our Passover Seder to symbolize the mortar and bricks the Israelites were forced to make as slaves in Egypt. It is good year-round with any roasted meat or poultry. The amounts are flexible--mix, taste, and adjust. (The amount of honey depends on the sweet/tartness of the apples.) I don't think I would make this without my food processor.

Charoseth
1 cup raisins
1 2/3 cups walnuts
3# firm, crisp apples (about 6 medium)
1 Tbsp cinnamon
honey, to taste

1. Process raisins until they form a single mass. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
2. Process nuts until ground (medium texture). Add to the mixing bowl.
3. Quarter apples and cut out cores (do not peel). Grate with the french fry attachment or other grating disc. Add to the raisins and nuts.
4. Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey. Mix with your hands (those raisins need help de-clumping). You'll now want an assistant to add more cinnamon or honey if needed.
5. Transfer to an attractive bowl and refrigerate, covered, until serving time. Leftovers will keep for a day or two in a tightly covered plastic container. The cinnamon disguises any browning of the apples.
