Ingredients
1 cup walnut halves and pieces
1/2 pound medjool dates, pitted
1/4 cup orange juice or Manischewitz wine
1 Granny Smith or Fuji apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
Directions
Add the walnuts to a food processor. Process them in 1-second pulses, until they are finely chopped. Transfer them to a bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon to use as a garnish.
Add the pitted dates and orange juice to the now-empty food processor. Process them until they form a thick paste, scraping down the sides if necessary.
Add the paste to the bowl with the chopped nuts. Add the apple, cinnamon, and ginger to the bowl and stir to combine.
Taste the charoset and add more juice or wine, cinnamon, or ginger to taste. The charoset can be served right away, or up to two days after it is prepared. To garnish, sprinkle with the reserved tablespoon of walnuts.
