Haroset

Haroset, or Charoset, is a staple treat of Passover. It is a paste of fruit and nuts that is served spread over matzah--a cracker-like flatbread made of flour. The food is meant to symbolize the mortor used by Isrealites to bond bricks during their enslavement in Ancient Egypt. It's a great way to remember and celebrate Jewish culture and history, and it also makes a healthy and tasty snack for kids.
