A Taste of Tu B'Shvat: Celebrating the Produce of Israel "One of the best ways to celebrate Tu B'Shvat is by savoring the produce of Israel. Besides holding your own Tu B'Shvat seder, or sampling a tray of mixed treats, there are many ways to incorporate the traditional (and not so traditional) fruits and nuts into your holiday menu." Archivist's Note: The use of pomegranates also makes this suitable for Rosh Hashanah. Chicken Rimonim Serves 4-6 The pomegranates lend a beautiful color and delicate flavor to the chicken. You need: 1 chicken, cut into eighths juice of 2 pomegranates seeds of 1 pomegranate 1 onion, diced 2 tbsp of margarine 2 tbsp flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional) 2 cups chicken soup 1.
