Pear and Mango Charoset

Here's a different and interesting version of charoset.  I tried it because my sister-in-law is allergic to apples -- and, of course, because I love to try new recipes.  Adapted from www.jewishrecipes.org.  It calls for 1 Tbsp of sweet Passover wine, but it has plenty of liquid from the other ingredients.  In fact, adding more nuts to make it more crunchy might be good.

Ingredients:
2 medium sized pears, cored and coarsely chopped
1 -2 tsp lemon juice
1 cup fresh mango, peeled and diced
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp honey


Directions:
1) Place pears in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with just enough lemon juice to coat when tossed

2) Place all ingredients in food processor.  Pulse once or twice, to leave it chunky.

3) Cover and refrigerate for a t least 1 hour before serving.
