Purim Is Almost Here

Hamantashen - Purim Cookies
A Hamantash is a pastry in Jewish cuisine in the shape of a triangle. The filling is placed in the center. It is traditionally eaten during the Jewish holiday of Purim. Hamantashen are made with many different fillings, including poppy seed (the oldest and most traditional variety) prunes, nut, date, apricot, apple, fruit preserves, cherry and chocolate. The name hamantash is commonly known as a reference to Haman, the villain of Purim, as described in the Book of Esther. The pastries are supposed to symbolize the defeated enemy of the Jewish people, and thus resemble the "ears of Haman". Check us out at www.sweetnes.com

Do You Know What "Carob Fruit" Is ?

Carob Fruit is non-fleshy and bean-like fruit that is sweet in nature.  Many people use is as a chocolate substitute and many chew it as a sweetmeat.  Carob pods are processed to a cocoa-like flour which is added to cold or heated milk for drinking. It has been combined with wheat flour in making bread or pancakes. A flour made by beating the seeded pods is high in fiber and has been utilized in breakfast foods. The finer flour is also made into confections, especially candy bars. The pods, coarsely ground and boiled in water yield a thick, honey-like sirup, or molasses.   You may find Carob fruit at our website at www.sweetnes.com 

The Jewish Holiday "TuBishvat" - "The New Year of the Trees"

Honi and the Carob Tree - A Talmud Tale  -  Honi the Wise One was also known as Honi the Circle Maker. By drawing a circle and stepping inside of it, he would recite special prayers for rain, sometimes even argue with God during a drought, and the rains would come. He was, indeed, a miracle maker. As wise as he was, Honi sometimes saw something that puzzled him. Then he would ask questions so he could unravel the mystery. One day, Honi the Circle Maker was walking on the road and saw a man planting a carob tree. Honi asked the man, "How long will it take for this tree to bear fruit?"The man replied, "Seventy years." Honi then asked the man, "And do you think you will live another seventy years and eat the fruit of this tree?" The man answered, "Perhaps not. However, when I was born into this world, I found many carob trees planted by my father and grandfather. Just as they planted trees for me, I am planting trees for my children and grandchildren so they will be able to eat the fruit of these trees."        We carry a large selection of TuBishvat gift arrangements, platters and more at www.sweetnes.com
