Please keep chilled. Stir before serving! Makes enough for 15-20
3 Gala apples - fresh - peel and slice into 1/2-3/4" thick chunky lengths
1 Honeycrisp apples - fresh - peel and slice into 1/2-3/4" thick chunky lengths
1 Bartlett pears - fresh and very un-ripe - peel and slice into 1/2-3/4" thick chunky lengths
6 Dried Medjool dates - Trader Joe's brand - no nuts in the facility
10 Dried Black Mission figs - Trader Joe's brand - no nuts in the facility
10 Dried Apricots (with sulphur dioxide) - Trader Joe's brand - no nuts in the facility
1/2 c Ocean Spray Craisins (dried cranberries, infused with blueberry juice) - no nuts in the facility
In food processor: Layer 2 apples then sprinkle 1/2 of the dried fruits on top, then layer the remaining apples/pear and sprinkle the remaining dried fruits on top. Pulse to get the top layer to circulate to the bottom for even chopping. Stop and re-distribute by hand if the bottom is getting pureed while the top has yet to be chopped. Get it to a texture that you like. Put it all in a bowl. I use the unripe pear to replace the texture of nuts - it stays crisp and gives the charoset more body.
Then mix the liquids:
1/4 c Welch's white grape juice
3 T Busy Bee Organic Honey
1/4 t McCormick's cinnamon
juice of 1/2 Lemon - fresh
Pour by tablespoons full over the fruit and stir in, to taste. The fruit will give off more juice, so don't make it too soupy!
