Basics: How to Make Charoses

Learn how to make charoses for your Pesach seder.

If you’re making Pesach for the first time this year, you’re going to need to make charoses yourself.

This is our favorite version.

Use hazelnuts without the peel. If you cannot find peeled hazelnuts, simply toast whole hazelnuts. Rub the nuts between your palms or in a dish towel and the peels will come off. Then, chop coarsely and measure the correct quantity. 

Combine apples, hazelnuts, wine and ginger to taste.

We have a Syrian version too! See that recipe here.
