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.
