Charoset


Charoset is a sweet, brown relish eaten during Passover.
It symbolizes brick mortar on a plate during a Seder.
This is a sweet treat made for the season in all nations.
There is no single recipe.  Existing are many variations.
Included are apples, raisins, dates, and cinnamon.
Sometimes added are walnuts, figs, pomegranates, and saffron.
Charoset is usually placed between layers of unleavened bread.
Its thick texture makes it something easy to spread.
Often "dukeh" and "halegh" can be used as a designation.
May this Passover food be handed down to each generation.

Robert, I had the Seder several times at a Jewish friend's home. I remember the charoset well. Actually, it was one of the more preferred parts of that meal...well, the wine was...nevermind. I enjoyed your poem very much. It brought back good memories.
