These recipes call for the use of a stove and chopping or cutting instruments. Before beginning to cook, get either help or the "go-ahead" from a responsible adult.

What You Need:

• 2 cups flour
• 2/3 cup water
• mixing bowl
• rolling pin
• pot holder
• sheet of wax paper, 12" x 18" to roll the matzah on
• large, flat cookie sheet
• chopping knife
• fork to make holes in the matzah

What You Do:

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
   
   
2. Measure the flour and the water into the mixing bowl, and stir with a fork.
   
   
3. Form a small amount of dough into a ball and then use the rolling pin to roll the ball out into a thin, flat circle on the wax paper.
   
   
4. Poke holes in the dough with a fork to keep it from rising.
   
   
5. Bake the matzah for 3-4 minutes, until it is brown. Use the mitt or potholder to remove the cookie sheet from the oven, and don't forget to turn off the oven when you're done.

Charoses

What You Need:

• 2 red apples
• 1 cup of sweet red wine or grape juice
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (you can buy them already shelled and chopped into pieces)
• paring knife for peeling apples
• wooden bowl
• metal chopping blade
• measuring cup
• large spoon for stirring

What You Do:

1. Carefully peel the apples (ask an adult to help you) and cut them length-wise in half and then in half again. Discard the peels and cores.
   
   
2. Put the peeled and cored apples into a wooden bowl. Ask an adult to show you how to use the chopping blade to chop the apples into pieces the size of your thumbnail.
   
   
3. Add the chopped nuts to the bowl with the chopped apples.
   
   
4. Measure one cup of red wine or grape juice and pour it into the apple and nut mixture.
   
   
5. Stir the mixture until it becomes the color of the wine or juice. Now the charoses is ready to eat—or you can sprinkle it with cinnamon before serving.
