How My Sephardic-Turkish Family Makes Haroset

Passover has many yummy foods that we look forward to, but Haroset will always be present at everyone’s Seder tables. As important to the Passover celebration as Haroset is, it seems that there are as many versions of Haroset as there are people who celebrate Passover! I’m going to teach you How My Sephardic-Turkish Family Makes Haroset, with a yummy combination of raisins, walnuts, apple, and sweet wine. This is the way I grew up eating and loving it, and it’s how we always make it in my family, but I find that Haroset recipes tend to vary depending on the family’s region of origin, and often just from family to family, even amongst those of similar ancestry! So… I’m going to share with you how we make it and love it in my family, in case you’re looking to switch up your Haroset game a little this year. I hope you love it as much as I do.

As always, the tools you'll need and the exact ingredients with their precise measurements are
listed right after my introduction in the video.

As a Sephardic Jew myself I say, why have I not seen you before! Great recipes!

Growing up, we celebrated with a Sephardic Turkish family, and your channel always feels like I've found my aunt's recipe books. ❤

Sally, this is the same recipe I've used since I got married (almost 30 years ago). A recipe I got from my Aunt Nelly. I also add some peel from an orange which was in her recipe. It's always been a hit and I make it every year no matter where the seder is held. Love Sephardic charoset vs Askenazi charoset. I can say that since I'm both.

Interesting. My Nona made her version with prunes, otherwise it's the same as yours. Over the years, I've learned I like it better cooked in the crock pot (making a compote) and then mashed. I add the chopped nuts after it's cooled. I've also discovered I can amp up the flavors by adding orange & lemon rind (pith removed) and some cinnamon. It's an incredible hit with family and friends.
