- Word "charoset" comes from Hebrew "cheres," meaning clay

Charoset is an important element of the Jewish Passover Seder, and is traditionally made from a mixture of apples, nuts, cinnamon, wine, and honey.
Variations
Like most Jewish cuisine that has survived the diaspora (the scattering of the population), charoset recipes vary according to region.
- Persia: Jews with roots in modern-day Iran traditionally make charoset with 40 ingredients, signifying the 40 years of wandering depicted in Exodus.
- Greece: Greek Jews may use regional ingredients such as dates and pine nuts.
- Yemen: Yemeni Jews may add almonds, figs and pomegranate, along with spices such as cardamom and black pepper.
