Every Jewish family – Sephardic, Ashkenazi, Yemenite, and Bukharian – has their own recipe for Charoset. Charoset is served at the Passover Seder to remind us of the brick and mortar we used, as slaves, to build Egypt, during the Passover story. If you don’t have your own recipe, or if you are looking for something new, try this simple charoset recipe. Explore our galleries for more ideas on Passover.
