Not Your Bubbe's Charoset Using White Wine
 
Prep time
Total time
 
This sweet paste is symbolic during passover because it is meant to remind people of the mortar used by the Israelites when they were slaves in Egypt. My modern spin on charoset is a lightened up version. I use crisp gala or fuji apples, almonds in place of walnuts, white wine in place of sweet red wine
