One of the symbolic foods on the Seder plate is charoset
(haroset or charoses) which resemble the color and texture of mortar (or mud used to make bricks) which the Israelites used when they were enslaved in Ancient
Egypt to build the pyramid for the pharaohs.
After eating too much matzo, that sits like a brick in your stomach too.
Just like the various ways to spell charoset, there are
various ways to make it too. This recipe
came from Emeril
Lagasse. Other recipes that I found
included variations such as adding in golden raisins, honey and brown sugar.
