Orange-Ginger Charoset

2.9

(7)

Although major brands of crystallized ginger list only sugar and ginger in the ingredients, crystallized ginger cannot be purchased with kosher-for-Passover certification. If you choose to omit this ingredient, increase the fresh ginger by one teaspoon and add 2 extra teaspoons of honey. This recipe is best served within a few hours of preparation.

Note:

Bartenura kosher-for-Passover amaretto liqueur is available at www.queenannewine.com.
