The Trees we honor for Tu B'Shevat bestow a bounty of incredible flavors of the Land of Israel. Grapes, Figs, Dates, Oranges, Pomegranate seeds, Olives, Honey, Almonds, Walnuts, Pecans, Bulgar, Quinoa, Apples…the list goes on! We decided to share a long time family favorite recipe to honor Tu B'Shevat this year, Spiced Honey Date Cake with Date Honey Sauce. May your year be sweet!

This dish was created with the spicy notes of Red Zinfandel wine in mind. A perfect melding of the spice and fruit components of the Zin with the exotic flavors of cumin, ginger and more.

Here’s a twist on a tried and true favorite. We started with the basic recipe but then just went wild, adding coconut, cinnamon, cardamon and even a pinch of sea salt! Try them once and fall in love instantly!

Rich, buttery parmesan and pine nuts balance out the bitter flavor that is characteristic of broccoli rabe. Serve this classic side dish with steak or try it in a sandwich if you have leftovers.
