Charoset is a sweet dish traditionally served during the Passover celebration. This recipe is a variation of the Ancona-style charoset that hails from the Italian region of Marche. It is a simple and tasty combination of dates, almonds, raisins, apples, and orange juice. The dish is symbolic of the mortar used by the Israelites while they were slaves in Egypt, and today serves as a reminder of the Jewish people's liberation from bondage. Charoset is often eaten on matzah (unleavened bread) during the Seder meal, but it can also be enjoyed as a sweet treat on its own.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together the chopped dates, chopped almonds, and raisins.
2.	Add the grated apples to the mixture and toss.
3.	Add the orange juice and stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
4.	Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
