Ahashoo

Katherine Scharhon about this recipe I have a request for the Ahashoo recipe. If you dont have it, this will be an appropriate recipe for after Passover. Do you remember when, with the leftover matzos after Pesah, your mother made a sweet treat called Ahashoo. (No I didnt sneeze! This is what its called.) Some of you may have never heard of this treat and hopefully some may remember it. In any case, have fun preparing and enjoy eating this delicious treat.

6 cups farfel or 6 sheets of matzos, crumbled1 cup sugar1 cup water1/2 cup honeyjuice of 1/2 a lemon1/2 tsp. cinnamon1/2 tsp. ginger1/2 tsp. nutmeg1 cup chopped toasted nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc.)

Toast farfel or sheets of matza lightly in oven. Boil sugar, honey and water until sticky, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Add the spices, lemon juice, nuts, and matzos and stir over medium heat for five minutes. Mix well.

Pour into an 8 greased square pan and spread with a spatula, or roll into balls and place into paper candy cups.

Double the recipe for a 13 x 9 pan.

With the availability of all these ingredients, there is no reason why Ahashoo cannot be made during Passover.
