I regarded ahead to passover yearly due to this charoset. As soon as I moved out of the home my mother would ship me jars of it so I might nonetheless have some. They by no means lasted lengthy as a jar may very well be thought-about a traditional serving for me.
My mother all the time instilled in us the worth of straightforward contemporary dishes. This dish is so simple as it will get but it surely blows retailer purchased apple sauce out of the water.
