This version of the Passover classic is packed with the bright flavors of pistachios, sweet apricots and pomegranate. Charoset is traditionally served with matzoh, but it’s also delicious as a condiment in sandwiches or as a filling for endive leaves.
Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
- 1 1/2 cup dried apricot halves, chopped
- 1/3 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
Method
Put pistachios in a small heavy skillet and place over medium heat.
Cook, shaking the pan frequently, until pistachios are fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Place in the bowl of a food processor and let cool a few minutes.
Pulse until chopped.
Add apricots, pomegranate juice and orange blossom water, and pulse again until the mixture is finely chopped but not puréed; it should be just a little bit chunky.
Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Refrigerate up to 3 days. Stir in mint just before serving.
