Charoset for the seder

I got this recipe from Spark people.com but have tweaked it a little bit to fit with what I have handy.
Though tasty it is a little muddy looking which is the point! Charoset is supposed to represent the mud/straw mixture that the Israelites used to make bricks or mortar for the buildings they had to make as slaves for Pharaoh.

Ingredients

6 apples, unpeeled
2 cup ground walnuts (I will use almonds as I'm allergic to walnuts)
2 teaspoon cinnamon
Passover wine to moisten (I will use juice instead since we don't drink)
Honey to taste



Directions
Chop apples (do not peel).

Grind walnuts in food processor to make powdery substance.

Combine apples and nuts in bowl and stir in wine. Add enough wine so that the nuts create an almost paste. Add honey to sweeten.

Chill for at least 2 hours. Add more wine and/or honey as necessary.


Number of Servings: 16
