From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
Iraqi Charoset is a dried fruit and nut based paste served during the Jewish celebration of Passover by Jews from Iraq.
[edit] Ingredients
- 500 ml. Iraqi dates, chopped and seeded
- water
- salt
- 125 ml. chopped walnuts or pistachios
[edit] Procedure
- Boil dates in lightly salted water stirring frequently until it is a thick paste.

- A traditional variant is to strain the pulp out of the paste producing a honey-like date syrup. This procedure uses considerably more dates and can take several days to produce sufficient syrup.
