This charoset is really interesting- in a good way. But processing the dried figs and dates almost burned out the motor on my food processor. The resulting paste was very, very thick and sticky. It took some muscle to work in the remaining ingredients. But the flavor is lovely and bright. The texture is fittingly like mortar. It is going to be a fun addition to our Passover table this year. If I make it again, though, I think I might attempt a small dice of dried figs and dates instead.
This was a delicious nut-free alternative to traditional haroset. I did take the liberty of adding 2 peeled apples and a dash of wine to the mix to lighten the texture and safeguard the food processor.
