Charoseth Gorp
Think of this as a dry, chewy charoseth, the traditional Passover dish. It’s just fruits and nuts, so you might bring a string cheese or Baby Bel for added protein and crackers for starch.
It’s super chewy, prolonging the pleasure of a meal that’s also very good for you. A bottle of spring water or wine completes the menu.
2 cups snipped, dried apricots
2 cups snipped, dried apples
2 cups snipped, dried plums (prunes)
2 cups jumbo raisins
2 cups whole, unsalted cashews
2 cups whole Brazil nuts
2 cups whole, unsalted pecans
Put everything in a large bag and shake gently to mix well. Measure by the cupful (whole meal) or half cup (snack) into snack bags. Seal and keep in a cool place. Makes 14 one-cup servings.
Gorp lover’s tip of the week: Buy individually wrapped hand wipes and place one sealed packet in each snack pack of homemade gorp.
Extra food is travel insurance. Even a brief morning hike can turn into a longer-than-planned, hungry and even life-threatening adventure.
