Apple-Fig Haroset

This would be good for a Crisp dessert–a crumble with the combination of oats. Brown sugar, a must, I do believe!

But this is a Passover dish; now Good Friday!…

Leftovers I have, if any, will be baked into a crispy crumble! Yes, indeed!

Crisp: fruit w/topping of oats, butter, flour, sugar, nuts.
Crumble: streusel topping baked over fresh fruit.
Buckle: fruit blended into cake batter
Brown Betty: butter-crumb topping without oats
Cobbler: pie crust or biscuits baked over fruit

6 Honeycrisp apples chosen-

It’s like Spring and Autumn mixed into Easter on this vintage dress!

Vibrant Easter colors for an Easter dress-–at home, of course!

This recipe, or the idea of it, calls for sweet red wine.

The pictures are self-explanatory.
How could you not like a pretty vintage glass bowl?!

These Honeycrisp apples are super-easy to get a thin peeling off the rounds.

I’m nostalgically caught up in the moment!

Spritzing lime juice over the pared apples ever so often will not only keep them nice–but will accentuate the fresh flavors of this dessert!

The peelings are too good to throw away, to let go to waste. They, too, get spritzed with lime, then refrigerated for a crispy topping over a baked dessert.

It’s utilizing everything.

Estimating how much I want, I’ve got pecans chopped to stir into the apples; with cinnamon and sugar–
Again, just what I want, “guesstimating” it!
You’ve got to love what you eat!

Next, a douse of honey from the honey bear–and a good helping of dried figs.
(Dried or fresh mint, optional}

Q & A !

Lastly, 1/2 cup of the sweet red wine stirred into the apple-fig dessert.
Refrigerated for a day/night, flavors will marinate; and the apples and figs will soften, soaking up the wine.
(I find it best to put the fruit mixture into a gallon-size Ziploc bag in the ‘frig–that way, liquid is distributed evenly instead of sinking to the bottom of a bowl. All of the fruit needs the wine.)

‘Tis divine.

Haroset represents the mortar used by Jewish slaves in Biblical History; the sweet red wine, Jesus’ Blood when He was crucified on the Cross.

Have a peaceful, joyous season…
