A childhood memory… A mountain of golden roses glazed with honey syrup, displayed on a porcelain serving platter. The best part? The delicate, paper-thin pastry. A wonderful kosher treat to make for Purim or Rosh Hashanah celebrations.

The list of honey sweets for Rosh Hashanah would be incomplete without this cake, Tunisian Harissa, made with almonds, semolina, orange blossom water and honey. It’s probably the easiest to make, perfect for beginners.

These honey-glazed cookies shaped like yoyos are one of the most beloved pastries on holiday tables, especially for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Today I’m sharing my family’s Tunisian yoyo recipe with you.
