A sweet spread often served during Passover.

Serve on matzo, with matzo brei, or on toast.

There are endless version. This is the one I make in recent years.

 

• 1 tart apple (Granny Smith), peeled and chopped, apx 150g
• 20g raising (skip if you can't bare them even when ground to a paste)
• 100g pitted dates / date spread (often vacuum packed, make sure it has no added sugar)
• -
• 40g toasted walnuts, chopped
• -
• 2 tbsp sweet or dry wine 
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• a little black pepper
• a little nutmeg
• optional: rose water (strength vary, add to taste, maybe 1/2 tsp)
• optional: 1/4 tsp dry ginger
• a large pinch of salt
• a little lemon, if needed, to taste

 

• Cook the apple with the dates and raisins until the apple is tender.
• Add half to all of the nuts, and all flavoring ingredients.
• Blend smooth (or rough, if you prefer).
• Add remaining chopped nuts.
