PROVENçAL HAROSETH FOR PASSOVER
This is a 13th-century haroseth recipe from Provence, using the Mediterranean fruits and nuts that are still available in the region. Back then, Jewish families would have saved chestnuts from the fall harvest and roasted or boiled them for this springtime Passover recipe - and then laboriously peeled them by hand - but now you can buy cooked, pre-peeled chestnuts any time.

APPLE AND WALNUT HAROSETH
This very classic Ashkenazi haroseth, which is a ceremonial part of the Passover Seder, is made from diced apple, toasted walnuts, a touch of cinnamon and a shower of sweet Passover wine. It's meant to represent the mortar used by the Israelites when they were slaves in Egypt. The sweeter the apples you use, the less honey you'll need to add at the end. But tart apples are nice here, too, as long as you balance their acidity. If you can't get Manischewitz or another sweet Passover wine, ruby port is a fine substitute. You can make this haroseth one day ahead and store it in the refrigerator; just mix it well before serving to reincorporate any liquid that might have seeped out of the mix.

HAROSETH
This recipe, adapted from Alon Shaya of Domenica Restaurant, an Italian restaurant in New Orleans, plays on traditional haroseth. Moscato wine takes the place of Manischewitz, and hazelnuts for almonds. A spin on a recipe from Mr. Shaya's mother, Joan Nathan brought it to The Times in 2011.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, wine, onions, apples and honey. Simmer over low heat until the onions are transparent, stirring gently so the apples retain their shape, about 15 minutes.
- While apples are simmering, combine figs, dates, apricot preserves, and lemon and orange zests and juices in a food processor. Pulse a few times until combined but not puréed. Transfer to a mixing bowl. When the apple mixture is ready, add it to the bowl and stir gently to combine; there may be excess liquid, which will gradually be absorbed into the fruit.
- Spread hazelnuts or almonds and the pistachios on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a kitchen towel and roll the towel gently to remove the skins. Lightly chop the nuts and add to the bowl. Add salt, allspice, cardamom and cinnamon, and fold gently to mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight so flavors meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.

HAROSETH
Steps:
- 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.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the haroset will taste. This is especially true for the apples, walnuts, and wine.
- Don't overcook the apples: The apples should be cooked until they are soft, but not mushy. Otherwise, the haroset will be too runny.
- Use a good quality wine: The wine you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the haroset. Choose a wine that you enjoy drinking.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make haroset. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find a recipe that you love.
Conclusion:
Haroset is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a traditional Jewish food that is often served at Passover, but it can also be enjoyed as a snack or dessert. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy apples, walnuts, and wine, I encourage you to give haroset a try.
