SEPHARDIC COOKING; MARK
~-Jewish, Cochin
½ lb Dark raisins
½ lb Date paste
¼ c Almonds, blanched
2 tb Sesame seeds
1 c Sugar
¼ c Wine vinegar
¼ ts Salt
1 c Water
1. Into a processor, put all of the ingredients and process together into a smooth paste. Put the paste in a pan and simmer over very low heat for ½ hour. Cool.
Serve at room temperature with matzoh at the Passover Seders.
NOTE: The date paste, for those who cannot find it already prepared, is nothing more than seedless dates ground to a paste with the smallest amount of water. I suggest ½ pound of dates and 3 tablespoons of water, processed together to smoothness.
A sweet and pungent jaroseth is unusual since other cultures do not use vinegar and therefore lacks pungency.
