Halek (fruit And Nut Mix For Passover)

The Lord very frequently addresses us in the character of a husband… As He performs all the offices of a true and faithful husband, so He stipulates for love and conjugal chastity from us; that is, that we do not prostitute our souls to Satan… Therefore, as the purer and chaster the husband is, the more grievously is he offended when he sees his wife inclining to a rival; so the Lord, who has betrothed us to Himself in truth, declares that He burns with the hottest jealousy whenever, neglecting the purity of His holy marriage, we defile ourselves with abominable lusts, and especially when the worship of His Deity, which ought to have been most carefully kept unimpaired, is transferred to another, or adulterated with some superstition; since, in this way, we not only violate our plighted troth, but defile the nuptial couch, by giving access to adulterers.

Coarsely chop the nuts in a processor.  Mix the nuts, fruits, wine,
vinegar, Advieh, and rosewater to achieve a moist, textured
consistency.  VARIATIONS:  For fresh fruit halek, use apples, pears,
pineapples,  plums, and grapes -- as much variety as is available -- an
equal  amount of each when cut into very small pieces. Mix with the
wine,  vinegar, Advieh, and rosewater in the proportions noted for the
dried  fruit and nuts.  Halek is a word also used in Kurdistan and
India to denote the  ceremonial mixture presented on the table at the
Passover Seder. The  Ashkenazi haroseth is used for the same purpose,
but the combination  of ingredients is more complex. There are several
types of Persian  halek -- the combination of nuts, fruits, wine, and
spices --  depending upon the family custom.  Nutritional information
