Ashkenazi-style Charoset for Passover

Traditional Ashkenazi-style charoset with extra zing from orange zest and currants. Adjust to your taste buds. Enjoy during the seder or anytime!

I use toasted walnuts but pecans or almonds can work. No currants? Try another dried fruit cut into small pieces. Any red wine works as well - even Manischewitz :-).

Pro-tip: The smaller you chop your walnuts and apples, the easier the final mixture will cling to the matzo when you eat it!
