• Pulse together figs, apricots, and dates in a food processor until finely chopped, then transfer to a bowl and stir in walnuts and wine. Sprinkle spices evenly over mixture and stir until combined well.

HAROSETH WITH CHESTNUTS, PINE NUTS, PEARS AND DRIED FRUITS

Steps:

• In a medium pot, combine all ingredients except for the chestnuts and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until fruit starts to break down, about 30 minutes. Stir in chestnuts.
• Transfer to a food processor and pulse in short bursts until chunky, or until desired texture is reached.

HAROSETH TRUFFLES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the pomegranate juice and cinnamon.
• Combine the dates, apricots, cherries, almonds, and pistachios in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse together until mixture is coarsely combined. Add the cinnamon-juice mixture and process until the mixture forms a smooth, sticky paste. Add more juice, a teaspoon at a time, if the paste does not stick together.
• Spread the coconut flakes on a large plate or jelly roll pan. Roll the dough, 1 heaping tablespoon at a time into a ball; roll in the coconut to coat evenly. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
