This is the greatest haroseth. I've been making it for about 10 years, and everyone raves (especially those who grew up eating traditional Ashkenazi-style haroseth.) Yes, there are a ton of leftovers. I sprinkle mine in yogurt and have it for breakfast for the next week or so.
This haroseth is the BEST. Discovered it several years ago and have made it every year since. Super interesting flavors, totally yum. The kids love it too. Even if I'm not hosting, I'm always asked to bring it. It does make a TON though. Halving it is a good idea.
I made this with half as much cardamom, and doubled up on apples, while leaving out the bananas (my family are not banana fans) and it was delicious. Great recipe!
This is an excellent recipe! I made the following adjustments, partially based on other notes, and was super happy with the result: - halved the recipe - only used green d’anjou pear - subbed dry white wine 0.5 tsp honey b/c it’s what I had on hand For those wondering, yes, the banana is great! Next time I will pulse less as I prefer a chunkier haroseth but otherwise, great.
