Its simple but delicious.

This isnt a recipe as much as it is a ritual.

Growing up, I wasnt always so attuned to the overall heaviness baked into most Jewish holidays.

Instead, I tended to clock which traditions were the most delicious ones.

There is only so long a kid wants to sit around in their itchy tights waiting for a meal.

What a glorious feeling to bite into the charoset with all of its juicy tart flavors.

Its sweet, a little tart, and deeply tied to memoryjust like my Grandma.

This recipe is easily doubled for a crowd or extra leftovers.

Give it a good shake to mix.

Store it in the fridge forat least 2 days, flipping or shaking it once or twice a day.

When its time to serve, scoop it onto matzo and savor the tradition.
