When I was growing up in New York, Tu Bishbat was celebrated minimally. In Israel, it’s celebrated with a Seder at a table laden with brilliant colors of fresh fruit, nuts, breads and wine.
This year, I’ve chosen three fantastic recipes for desserts made with fruit that are perfect for serving on Tu Bishvat.
