- Step 1
In a large food processor, combine nuts, raisins, dates and spices. Pulse until nuts are coarsely chopped.
- Step 2
Add apple, pear and bananas, and pulse until coarsely chop. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar, ½ cup pomegranate juice, and ½ cup wine. Pulse again, adding more vinegar, juice or wine to taste, as needed to make a coarse paste. Do not purée; mixture should retain some crunch.

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.

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.
Notes from Erica Gordon
Big hit with Seder crowd 2022. Substituted cardomom seeds for ground cardamom. Worked well.

How does this recipe keep the next day or two? I usually like to make enough charoset to enjoy leftovers, but I'm worried about the banana in this.
Barbara Ann
Did you ever find out the answer to this question? I am worried it may get soggy and lose it's crunch. On the other hand, haroset usually benefits from the flavors melding together for a day or so.
Sally
It keeps for about 5 days in fridge. It's divine!
Lisa
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.
Babette
I am always looking for interesting charoset variations & this one does not disappoint. We love spices so the cardamom & ginger were a nice addition for us. Everyone at my seder greatly enjoyed this recipe!
Es
Delicious!. Complex and so different from the regular Ashkenazi charoset. This recipe makes a lot. Even though I served 12 people and they ate quite a bit, we didn't use half.
