JEWISH NEWS
I
have one very vivid memory
of Tu B'Shevat from child-
hood. It was the annual JNF
tree drive, and I had saved
and saved to buy a tree in mem-
ory of my grandmother. I raced
home from Sunday school to
show the certificate to my par-
ents. Classic case of good news
and bad news. The good news
was that they were very proud
that I thought of my grand-
mother. The bad news was I'd
have to have the certificate reis-
sued as my very much alive
grandmother might take ex-
ception to having something
dedicated to her memory.
Tu B'Shevat is a "new year's
party" for trees. Celebrating the
rising of the sap and the antici-
pation of the first fruits and
nuts of the season is a little dif-
ficult when ifs been below freez-
ing and snowing for the last few
days. I try, however, to get in
the mood by singing that old
time favorite "Here we go with
spade and hoe."
rve been asked to host a Tu
B'Shevat seder and my first
thought was "If I have to clean
this house from top to bottom
and change my pots and pans
and dishes more than once a
year rm going to have a nervous
breakdown." I'd never heard of
a Tu B'Shevat seder before, and
I'll admit, I was curious.
ATTENTION!!!! This seder
does not require massive
amounts of housekeeping. A.
typical modern day Tu B'She-
vat seder is based on an ancient
kabbalistic manual called P'ri
Etz Hadar (Fruit of the Goodly
Tree) as well as passages from
the Talmud and other works re-
lating to fruits, nuts and spring.
You should serve at least four
different types of wine or fruit
juice at the seder and between
15 to 30 different types of fruit
(fresh, dried, or canned) and
nuts.
There is no particular cuisine
for Tu B'Shevat, so, of course, I
made it my business to find
recipes that used the fruits and
nuts that I like the best. So .. .
Have a "peachy" time with this
bunch of recipes.
BUTTERED RUM
PINEAPPLE
c. finely chopped
macadamia nuts
1 large pineapple
c. melted butter or mar-
garine
`/2 c. honey
1 /4 c. rum

(Approx. 4 to 5 min.) Set aside.
Set oven to broil. Pare and cut
pineapple crosswise into 8
1-inch thick slices. Score edges.
In a saucepan, over medium
heat, stir butter/margarine with
the honey and rum. Remove
from heat and with a fork clip
each piece of pineapple into the
mixture, make sure both sides
are coated and then drain off
excess. Place pineapple on
coated broiler rack and broil
slices until lightly browned on
each side. When slices are cool
enough to handle, coat edges
with ground nuts. Place the
pineapple slices on serving

remaining sauce and nuts over
the top. Serves 8.
