Most Jewish people like their haroset recipe so well that it is not only spread on matzo and then dipped in horseradish at the Seder table. Some families make large quantities to be eaten for breakfast, lunch and with snacks throughout Passover.

• 1 1/2 cup chestnut paste
• 10 ounce dates, chopped
• 12 ounce figs, chopped
• 2 tablespoon poppy seeds
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup chopped almonds
• 1/2 cup pine nuts
• grated rind of 1 orange
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
• 1/2 cup red grape juice
• Algave syrup, to bind

Combine all ingredients, using just enough syrup and red grape juice to make everything bind together.

Makes 4 cups.
