A simple charoset recipe for the traditional Passover staple. I always make a great deal extra to munch on for days! The mixture will turn the appropriate shade of brown to look like the mortar that it represents.

Notes
If your dates seem dry, you can soak them in water for 5-10 minutes to rehydrate before using.
If you don?t have almonds, you can use pecans or walnuts instead.
This recipe makes about 3.5 cups so if you?re only making it for a small family, you could easily half the recipe.
