Honeycomb & Pomegranate Display for Rosh Hashanah
How do you make the honey for Rosh Hashanah look lovely? Well, I have the answer:) Over the few months leading up to Rosh Hashanah, I buy jars of different sorts of honey. Some of the honey is local and well, I have to admit some of it I buy just because I like the names:) Anyway, I always purchase at least one jar of honey with a honey comb. Then right before dinner, I make a platter of the diffferent honeys,( Sometimes I label them or sometimes I just tell everyone which honey is which. This makes for nice dinner conversation at the table which is sure to always be sweet:) by placing each kind of honey in a separate martini glass with a chopstick- the chopstick is a nice change of pace from the traditional honey stick. Then I place the honeycomb in a martini glass. The honeycomb makes a lovely centerpiece for the honey platter. Then at the very last minute, I place a few pomegranate seeds on top of the honeycomb and an orchid. This lovely honey platter is sure to be the talk of your Rosh Hashanah dinner:)
PS thank you to Amy Leigh Traiger for taking this photo at my last Rosh Hashanah dinner:)
What a wonderful and pretty idea.
Thank you Karen:) You can change the look completely by changing the glasses and the platter that you place the glasses on:) L’Shana Tovah

I love this!!
I am a connoisseur of honey. Always seeking out new flavours and producers. It drives my family crazy as I pontificate on colour, taste, aroma etc.
I hear you there, Susan:) Some people just don’t understand that not all honey is the same:) I am a big fan of the raw honey:) I am like that with oil & vinegar:) Every Time I see a new oil or vinegar, I just have to buy it:) What is your favorite kind of honey? Where do you get it?
The picture does not do justice to how absolutely lovely this Rosh Hashana table was for all of her guests. We really did have a sweet new year!
Thank you Amy:) Soon another Rosh Hashana… more deliciousness:)
