Deconstructed Haroset

More variation on the haroset theme. This time, I was going for something that wasn't too cloying, but still rich-tasting. Fancy dark amber honey is central here. I don't think honey squeezed from a plastic bear would have quite the same result--not that I don't have great affection for the honey bear--but try for something with a little extra oomph if you can. You don't need much in the way of spices, just enough to add an aromatic boost to the sweet, clean flavors of the apples and apricots, and additional warmth to the toasty pine nuts.

Deconstructed Haroset

Combine in a large bowl:
2 sweet, crisp red apples, diced (something like Pink Lady or Gala)
Spritz lemon juice to prevent apples from turning brown
1/2 cup dried apricots, diced
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted in a dry skillet until golden
2 teaspoons strong-tasting honey, or more to taste
Pinch allspice
Dash cinnamon
Smidge ground coriander

Mix well, and serve slightly chilled.
