Tu BShvat Recipes
Tu Bshvat (tu b shevat/ tu bishvat) which falls in the winter marks the New Year for trees, and consequently tu bshvat recipes are laden with fruit.
Some people have the custom of celebrating tu bshvat with a special ceremonial meal (seder) involving different colored wines and many fruits of different types. Others try to eat 15 fruits, including new fruits.
In Israel a tradition has developed to eat all kinds of dried fruits. We are no longer limited to
apricots
and figs; in the run up to tu bshvat the shops and markets are full of a colorful assortment of dried fruits ranging from strawberries and kiwi to pineapple and mango. Many of these fruits are extremely sweet and a poor substitute for their non-dried equivalents, but some are lovely – one of my personal favorites is cubes of dried coconut.Find more fruity recipes here:
Fruit works well in any course of a meal – starter, main course, and of course dessert. Fruit is a common addition to many dishes – dried fruit is well suited to stews and is often incorporated in Sephardi recipes such as cous cous or
tagines.
Fresh fruit is often used in
green salads
and
chicken salads
providing lovely contrasts in texture and color.
Fruity desserts can include
cookies,
cakes,
muffins
pies
stuffed fruits
and more.
