Sephardic Charoset

Sephardic Charoset

A few years ago I started making sephardic-style charoset for Passover... and I never stopped. Although it is not the classic apple and walnut dish of my youth, I like the flavors better and I find it easier to manage on a piece of matzah with horseradish.

This year, I discovered this Serious Eats recipe, which I found not only tasty but also easy to make. Win win!

This recipe is built off of The Kitchn's review on The Pioneer Woman's recipe. We doubled the recipe and used most of two rotisserie chickens, but it scales further up also. Highly recommend par-baking and freezing.

  • salt-only Pie crusts (we like bottom crusts as well as on top) - for 12 small baking tins we needed 4 full crusts.
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter (or chicken, duck fat)
