Chametz and
A Passover Brownie Recipe

You are  what you eat!
That is the message of passover for all seven days in reform.
I invite you to use this list as your guideline for pesach eating.
The list defines "Chametz"
What is and is not appropriate on PASSOVER

1. The following foods can be eaten without concerning yourself about their "chametz" content.

• Fresh fruit, fresh vegetables
• Eggs, fresh fish, fresh meat and poultry

2. The following foods can also be eaten without concern for "chametz" content.  You should, however, purchase new packages and not use them before Passover.

• Pure tea, pure coffee (with no cereal additives)
• Sugar, honey, milk, cottage cheese, cream cheese
• Butter (See Category 3 for margarine)

3. Although the following processed foods do not appear to contain chametz, they are often produced with chametz.  For example, corn syrup is frequently used as a sweetener in ketchup and chocolate.  It is therefore best to purchase these products for use during Passover only if they bear a label saying they are kosher for Pesach or if you at least read the contents label carefully.  That way you will be sure that no chametz has been used in preparing them.

• Condiments (ketchup, mayonnaise), Canned goods, Grape juice, Wine
• Oils, Candy, Ice Cream, Yogurt, Potato Chips, Margarine (no corn oil!)

• Leavened bread, rolls, bagels, muffins, biscuits, croissants, doughnuts, crackers
• Cakes, Cereals, Coffee with cereal additives
• Wheat, barley, oats, spelt, rye
• All liquids containing ingredients or flavors made from grain alcohol
