The Seder plate sits at the top of the table during the Seder and one of the elements it comprises is Charoset.
Charoset is a mixture of nuts, apples and wine that is used at points during the Seder, together with Maror.
We use Charoset to remember the clay and mortar that the Israelistes used in Egypt during their slavery.
