Maghrebi charoset is a variety of charoset served during the Jewish celebration of Passover by Jews from Northwest Africa. Serve as part of the seder. The northwest African tradition uses bitter greens such as endive rather than horseradish with the Charoseth.

Ingredients

• 1½ cup white raisins
• ½ cup dried apricots or dried peaches, chopped
• 2 oranges, juiced
• ¼ cup chopped almonds
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger, preferably freshly-grated
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp matsoh meal

Procedure

1. Soak dried fruit in juice until plumped.
2. Mash reconstituted fruit with almond and spices to get a mortar-like texture.
3. Adjust texture with matsoh meal and if needed, sweeten with honey.
