HAROSETH
This recipe, adapted from Alon Shaya of Domenica Restaurant, an Italian restaurant in New Orleans, plays on traditional haroseth. Moscato wine takes the place of Manischewitz, and hazelnuts for almonds. A spin on a recipe from Mr. Shaya's mother, Joan Nathan brought it to The Times in 2011.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, wine, onions, apples and honey. Simmer over low heat until the onions are transparent, stirring gently so the apples retain their shape, about 15 minutes.
- While apples are simmering, combine figs, dates, apricot preserves, and lemon and orange zests and juices in a food processor. Pulse a few times until combined but not puréed. Transfer to a mixing bowl. When the apple mixture is ready, add it to the bowl and stir gently to combine; there may be excess liquid, which will gradually be absorbed into the fruit.
- Spread hazelnuts or almonds and the pistachios on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a kitchen towel and roll the towel gently to remove the skins. Lightly chop the nuts and add to the bowl. Add salt, allspice, cardamom and cinnamon, and fold gently to mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight so flavors meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.

What is Haroseth?
Haroseth, also spelled as charoset or haroset, is a type of fruit and nut relish that is commonly served during Passover Seder. The recipe may vary depending on the country or region. However, its essential ingredients include chopped fruits such as apples, dates, and figs, nuts such as walnuts, almonds, and pistachios, and sweeteners such as honey, sugar, or grape juice. Haroseth symbolizes the mud or mortar that the children of Israel used in Egypt to build the pyramids. It signifies the bitter taste of slavery and the sweet taste of freedom.The Significance of Apricot Date and Pistachio Haroseth Recipes
Apricot date and pistachio haroseth recipes are variations of the classic haroseth recipe that add a unique flavor and texture to the relish. The combination of dried apricots, dates, and pistachios creates a fruity and nutty taste that complements the traditional ingredients of the haroseth. Moreover, these ingredients have cultural and religious significance in Jewish history. Apricots are native to Armenia, a country that has a significant Jewish population. According to legend, King Solomon received apricots as a gift from the Queen of Sheba. Apricots symbolize the beauty and fertility of the land of Israel. They also represent the love between God and his people. Dates are mentioned several times in the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud. They are one of the seven species that the land of Israel is praised for. Dates symbolize sweetness, fertility, and abundance. According to tradition, dates were the only food that Adam and Eve ate in the Garden of Eden. Pistachios are a popular nut in the Middle East and have been cultivated since ancient times. In Jewish tradition, pistachios represent the matriarchs of the Jewish people – Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah. Pistachios are also associated with wisdom and knowledge. In the Talmud, Rabbi Yochanan says that the Torah is compared to a pistachio because it has a hard shell but a soft inside.How to Make Apricot Date and Pistachio Haroseth Recipes
