Charoset Around the World (It’s Not Just Apples)

If you’re anything like me (meaning you grew up eating typical Ashkenazi foods), Charoset consists of apples and nuts, and is eaten once a year on Passover.

Folks in the Sephardic community have a different take. This article discusses what Jews in Spain, Morocco, Italy, and Iraq traditionally enjoyed, along with an East-West fusion more recently created.

It’s so interesting to see Charoset, which I consider a condiment, pressed into truffle shapes made with dates (Moroccan version). I’m open to trying new recipes, especially with different types of dried fruit, but Passover purists may complain.
