Lekvar is a traditional Jewish plum paste, most often used as a filling in pastries. It is sour and sweet, with a sticky, chocolate richness that warms the back of your tongue and reminds you of the Old Country. Accentuated by the buttermilk's tart barnyard creaminess and bass notes of dark molasses, this is a delicious conclusion to a Passover seder, Easter dinner, or just a long day. More

Sorbet really is a perfect passover dessert. Light and refreshing, it's a great palate cleanser after a heavy meal. It's dairy-free, and doesn't require matzo meal as a poor substitute for flour. This sorbet is incredibly simple, a delicious marriage of grape and apple, slightly sweeter and a touch more tart than the charoset on your Hillel sandwich. More
It must be extremely difficult to develop decent-tasting kosher for Passover baking mixes that have no flour or leaveners, like baking soda or baking powder. So I kept an open mind as I prepared the chocolate brownie mix with fudge frosting ($3.99). I wasn't expecting over-the-top deliciousness, but I was hoping for a not-too-dense brownie with real fudge flavor and creamy frosting. More
