HAROSETH TRUFFLES

Haroseth Truffles image

This recipe takes a traditional Passover treat, and gives it a little twist. Here, dried fruit and nuts are chopped in a food processor, flavored with cinnamon and moistened with a bit of pomegranate juice for a Sephardic version of the recipe. They're rolled into balls, and dusted with unsweetened coconut. Feel free to substitute any dried fruit or nuts you'd like.
