Family Participation Is The Essential Ingredient In All Passover Recipes There was always a sense of warmth and support when we sat in the kitchen, whether we were watching Mom (in those days it was generally a Mom thing) prepare some new or familiar dish, or when we were invited to actually participate in the cooking or baking. Not only did we have a chance to be drawn in to the actual task, but we had an extended and supportive opportunity to talk about whatever was on either her mind or on ours. Somehow it was the most encouraging environment for what today we call “communication.” The informality linked with the tastes and smells and the sight of the cooking and baking seemed just right. Today, one of the phenomena of the modern modern American family is that fathers are cooking and baking more than ever before; some claim that it is quickly becoming the number one avocation of men between the ages of 25 and 45.

  • Rabbi Brown's Favorite Ugandan Charoset Recipe Ingredients 4 Cups
    Rabbi Brown’s Favorite Ugandan Charoset Recipe Ingredients 4 cups roasted peanuts 3 apples, chopped fine 2 bananas, chopped into small pieces 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup sweet wine Directions Grind the peanuts in a blender and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Rural Ugandans use a mortar and pestle. They don’t have blenders as very few have electricity. Mix with the chopped apples and bananas. Add the wine and stir. Add the honey and mix everything together. (If it isn’t thick enough, add more peanuts) Rita Reich’s Family Recipe This was the Charosis recipe I brought to our Multigenerational Seder on March 29. 2017: This is for a large family. Please adjust for fewer people. USE A FOOD PROCESSOR TO CHOP ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS BELOW: 10-12 apples (Granny Smith, Golden Delcious, Red Delicious, Galas or your choice), cored & quartered. 1 cup or package of each of the following dried fruits: Dates(pitted) Figs (stems removed) Prunes (pitted) Apricots Golden raisins Pulse all the ingredients in batches until they are chopped or of a consistency to your liking. Add 1 Tablespoon of Cinnamon or more to your taste. Add the grated rind of one large orange. Add enough grape juice or Kosher Sweet Wine to moisten to your taste Mix all ingredients completely in a large bowl. Store in airtight containers in refrigerator until ready to use. Tastes Delicious on matzoh. Note: I add chopped nuts if served to guests without nut allergies or in a non- nut- free facility. For an added kick I add a few splashes of Sabra orange liquor to taste.
