Need a quick c/haroset recipe without red wine or walnuts
Doesn't get a lot more last minute than this: I need to make charoset for a 5pm kids seder (EST), but all the recipes I'm finding involve red wine and walnuts, neither one of which I have. On the other hand, I do have lots of other fresh and dried fruits, nuts, and even a few sweet liquids (and a blender). Help! What can I make with this:
Liquids: red cooking wine, 8-y/o Rose, Concord grape juice, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, fruit punch (100% juice)
Fresh fruits: red apples, red grapes, clementines, blackberries, raspberries
Dried fruits: raisins, dried apricots, prunes, dried cherries, dried persimmons, dried cranberries, dried mission figs
Nuts etc: sweetened cacao nibs, raw cashews, salted roasted almonds, raw almonds, raw sunflower seeds, roasted and salted pumpkin seeds, raw pecan halves, unsalted toasted pecan pieces
(in case you couldn't tell, I make my own trail mixes but I don't really drink :)
Come on hotline, you can do this!

End result is to look like mortar (be dark brown or reddish and pasty), tradition is sweet not salted notr sour.
So avoid salted nuts, cooking wine and vinegar.
I would go for chopped dried fruits or mix of dried and fresh, some chopped raw nuts or seeds, dark juice, cinnamon if you have it.
Hope that helps.
Happy Passover!
