Cook apples or pears in water. Add hazelnuts or almonds, peeled chestnuts or walnuts, figs or raisins. Chop all ingredients finely with the strongest vinegar you have. Mix a pinch of brick dust in memory of the bricks that our fathers made in Egypt. Before serving add a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. If you wish, you can use different fruit and spices.
