Charoset (Vegan)

charoset #vegan Charoset is a traditional Jewish food eaten during the Seder meal at Passover, and it is a sweet mixture commonly made of dates, apples, cinnamon, and nuts. Charoset is eaten with the maror, bitter herbs, during the Seder meal to balance out the bitterness and remind the participants of the optimistic future that the Passover brings to life. The Charoset also symbolizes the mortar for building bricks that the Jewish people used while in Egypt. If you are interested in this topic, send me a message, and I will gladly steer you in the direction of further sources.

Additionally, if you are looking for a delicious sweet spread to place on a vegan charcuterie board, this vegan charoset would be a great option!
