Tips:

  • To make the haroseth as authentic as possible, use fresh dates and figs. If they are not available, you can use dried dates and figs, but soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using to soften them.
  • If you don't have any walnuts on hand, you can substitute almonds or pecans.
  • The amount of cinnamon and cardamom you add is up to your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Haroseth can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great option for busy families.
