On Rosh Hashanah it is customary to eat sweet foods as a sign of hope for a sweet year. Apples dipped in honey, round challah, honey cake, carrots and pomegranates all appear on the holiday table.
The holiday meals are usually meat meals, so the desserts here are pareve and can be served after brisket or chicken.
