Apple, Asian Pear, and Toasted Walnut Haroseth

5.0(10)

There are many variations of haroseth, a mixture of fruit, nuts, and honey. This version is light and fresh, with a nice crunch. Haroseth is one of the six elements of the seder plate, and is left on the table for the rest of the meal. It is traditionally served with matzo.
