Rosh Hashanah is the first of the high holidays on the Jewish calendar. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. It celebrates the anniversary of God creating the world, and looks ahead to making the new year better. This is a time of celebration and reflection.
Along with any good celebration comes good food! Naturally sweet foods like honey, apples, raisins and carrots are served at Rosh Hashanah, as reminders of the sweet year that lies ahead. One of the many food traditions followed at Rosh Hashanah is eating apples dipped in honey, and saying a prayer asking God for a wonderful year.
I love the combination of apples and honey, and began to think of many ways to get that flavor combination as possible. Eating these foods all year long can be a way to remember that each day is full of possibility.
Try…
- Apple flavored cereal mixed with honey flavored cereal
- Apple pie with honey ice cream
- Toast and apple butter with honey
- Baked apple with honey whipped cream
- Sautéed apples with honey baked chicken
- Apple juice with honey graham crackers
- Apple slices and honey yogurt dip
- Salad greens with chopped apples and honey vinaigrette
- Apple chips mixed with honey granola

Honeyed apple bread pudding with cream sherry.
Make it with honey instead of sugar (it's better); add some apple puree; honey-raisin Challah is a typical challah bread for Rosh Hashanah.
We also eat a TON of kugel: a noodle dish. Apple kugel sweetened with honey is a very common Jewish dish - I served it at my wedding! LOL
I hope I win this book - I'm always looking for great traditional Jewish recipes!
Apple chips mixed with honey granola is also a favorite of ours. We dehydrate our own apples to make apple chips
What a great way to learn about another culture - through their food!
Serves 8
Butter (for the dish)
Salt, to taste
1 pound medium egg noodles
6 eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup honey
2/3 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 apples, peeled, cored, and grated
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup crushed cornflakes
2 tablespoons butter, cut up
1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
2. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook them for 8 to 10 minutes or until they are just tender, but still have some bite. Drain into a colander and tip into a bowl.
3. In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir in the honey, raisins, walnuts, apples, cinnamon, and orange juice. Pour the honey-apple mixture over the noodles and toss gently but thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish.
4. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cornflakes, and dot with butter. Bake for 1 hour or until the pudding is set and golden on top. Adapted from Margo Friedman
