Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (6-ounce) package ground walnuts (1 1/2 cups)
1 (6-ounce) package ground almonds (1 11/2 cups)
1/2 cup pistachio nut meats, ground
1 cup date paste
1/2 cup raisins, ground
1/2 cup grape juice
1 banana, peeled and ground
1 apple, peeled and ground
2 tablespoons charoset spice

Steps:

Grind together all the ingredients that do not come already ground. Combine very well. Tricks of the trade: I buy already ground walnuts and almonds to make my life easier. I also purchase date paste so I don't have to grind that either. These are easily available kosher-for-Passover at many kosher groceries. The rest of the ingredients I process together into a wet paste similar in texture to chummus. Charoset spice is made by Sadaf and you can get it online; or simply mix equal parts of cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon. Keep haleg refrigerated and if it gets too thick, thin it with grape juice or even sweet wine to give it a grown up twist!

I love this variation! It is a fun addition to bring to a seder for something a little different. I got this from my friend Dale who got it from a magazine article written by Joan Schwartz Michel
