Guatemalan Haroset/Charoset (Passover)

Submitted by Oolala

"I just saw this in the April 2008 Hadassah magazine and thought I'd post it. It's included in an article about some Guatamalans who have embraced Judaism. This recipe was created by Clara de Medina in Guatamala CIty in a competition created by the Rabbi they were studying under from Kansas City, MO. Clara wanted to add something to make it Guatamalan so she put in onion, garlic, cilantro, wine vinegar, olive oil and chiltepe, which is their spicy pepper."
