We needed a nut-free haroset recipe and decided to give this one a go. It was delicious and simple to make and may become a new family tradition. It’s very rich and I was surprised and the quantity: this recipe yields enough for a large Seder party. We have a jar left over that we’re now using as a fig jam with cheese or (post Passover) toast.
