Provençal Haroseth for Passover image

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.

This Provencal Haroseth was a delicious and refreshing change from the traditional haroseth I'm used to. The orange zest and pistachios added a wonderful brightness and flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
