Charoset is a traditional Jewish dish served during the Passover Seder. It represents the mortar used by the Jewish slaves in Egypt to build the pyramids. While there is no one traditional recipe for charoset, this Moroccan version is a favorite amongst many Jewish families. These sweet and nutty charoset balls are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth during Passover, and they make a great addition to any Seder plate. Best of all, they are gluten-free and vegan-friendly, making them a great option for anyone with dietary restrictions.

Instructions

1.	In a food processor, pulse the pitted dates until they form a paste, adding a few drops of water if necessary.
2.	Add the golden raisins, dark raisins, and walnuts to the food processor, pulsing until the mixture is well combined.
3.	Add the sweet red passover wine and pulse until the mixture forms a firm ball, adding more wine if necessary.
4.	Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
5.	Arrange the balls on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
