context_page_description: Charoset, haroset, or charoises is a sweet, dark-colored paste made of fruits and nuts eaten at the Passover Seder. Its color and texture are meant to recall mortar which the Israelites used when they were enslaved in Ancient Egypt as mentioned in Tractate Pesahim of the Talmud, which says " The word "charoset" comes from the Hebrew word cheres — חרס — "clay."
  Charoset is one of the symbolic foods on the Passover Seder Plate. After reciting the blessings, and eating a matzah "Hillel sandwich" combining charoset and maror, the remainder is often eaten plain, spread on matzah.
