Instructions

Add nuts, raisins, dates, figs and applesauce into the food processor and process until combined, gently adding wine/juice as you grind to help keep it moving.
Once the mixture is fully combined and looks like a coarse paste, remove the charoset from the processor and place it into a bowl or container.
Serve as a spread for matzoh.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for later use. It should last at least 5-7 days in the fridge.

Notes

Dates: If your dates seem dry, you can soak them in water for 5-10 minutes to rehydrate before using.
Nuts: Walnuts or pecans are traditional, but I've also made this with almonds.
Halving the recipe: This recipe makes about 3.5 cups so if you're only making it for a small family, you could easily half the recipe.
