This is the recipe my father has been preparing for Passover since I can remember. It is so easy to make and so tasty, I literally cannot stop myself from licking the spoon.

Ingredients:

• 200 grams pitted dates
• 25 grams (1/4 cup) ground almonds/almond meal
• 25 grams (1/4 cup) ground walnuts
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 glass dry red wine
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 apple, peeled and grated, or 1/3 – 1/2 cup apple sauce

Preperation:

1. In a food processor, process dates with a bit of boiling water until a paste forms.
2. In a small pot, mix dates + wine until uniform. If very thick, add 3-4 tablespoons of water.
3. Cook over very low heat until the batter is smooth, glossy and thick.
4. Add ground nuts and almonds, cinnamon and cloves and cook for about 2 minutes over a very low heat, stirring. take off the heat.
5. When the mixture has cooled slightly, add the grated apple while stirring.
6. Transfer to a bowl with a lid and store in the refrigerator.

Happy Passover!
