HAROSET WITH ORANGE JUICE AND BANANAS

This sweet, fresh-tasting, chunky haroset is made of chopped apples and two kinds of nuts. Israeli mothers often add diced bananas to their haroset so it will appeal to the children.

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
3 or 4 tsp. sugar
2 large apples, peeled, halved, and cored
3 tsp. sweet red wine
2 tsp. orange juice
grated rind
1/2 orange
pinch of cinnamon
1 small banana, diced small

Add them to nut mixture. Stir in wine, orange juice and grated rind, cinnamon, and banana. Spoon into a bowl. Serve at room temperature or cold. Makes 8 servings.
