How to Make Charoset

Charoset (also spelled haroset) is a mixture of apples, nuts, honey, and a little cinnamon. It is one of the elements on the seder plate, symbolizing the mortar the Israelites used to build bricks when they were slaves in Egypt. During the seder, each participant makes a small matzoh sandwich of bitter herbs (horseradish) and charoset. The tradition began with Rabbi Hillel (110 B.C.–A.D. 10)
