Venetian Charoset

An unusual, rich and particularly spicy charoset, made with chestnuts, pine nuts, grated orange peel and plenty of spices

For centuries, Venice was one of the largest trading centers in the world and raw materials flowed into it from the Near and Far East. The Jewish community in Venice, which took part in the trade, carried stock made up of foreign imports, alongside local raw materials: an abundance of dried fruits, citrus fruits, chestnuts and sweet wine. This recipe for charoset takes advantage of the bounty of their trade.
