Apples comes in 2,500 variations. Apples are jammed with antioxidants and flavonoids, both considered important parts of a healthy diet. They also are an excellent source of pectin, a natural fiber. This time of year, apples often are best enjoyed unadorned, straight from the tree.

Honey baked apples can be a real treat, especially on Rosh Hashanah. Either way, try not to remove the skin, because that’s the best source of the apple’s pectin and other nutrients. In this recipe, apples are combined with nutritious nuts and the flavors of orange and cinnamon to create warm and comforting baked apples filled with dates and pecans. To toast the chopped pecans, which enhances their nuttiness, place them in a small, dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until they are lightly browned and fragrant, three to five minutes. This dessert would make a lovely addition to a Rosh Hashanah celebration, especially if drizzled with a touch of honey, which is traditionally served with apples to symbolize the hope for a sweet year to come. The honey could be added to the syrup (in place of or alongside the brown sugar) with which the apples are drizzled.
In a small bowl, stir together pecans, dates, orange zest and juice, 1 ml ( 1/4 tsp) of the cinnamon and salt. Core apples, leaving 1 cm ( 1/2 inch) at the bottom, and peel top edges. Stuff apples with pecan filling, then brush tops with melted butter, if using. Arrange apples in an 2-l (8-inch) square baking dish. Add apple juice to bottom of dish, then cover it tightly with foil. Bake until apples are tender (but not mushy) when pierced with a fork, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer apples to serving plates. If desired, place plated apples in oven (with heat turned off) to keep warm. Transfer juices in baking dish to a small saucepan over medium. Simmer for 5 minutes or until reduced by half. Add brown sugar and remaining 2 ml ( 1/2 tsp) of cinnamon. Simmer, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. In a small glass, mix cornstarch and water. Add mixture to saucepan, then heat until thickened. Serve apples drizzled with thickened sauce.

Restaurant Supplies Catalog
Whenever you open up your restaurant doors, you have one chance to pull the customer in. Usually, it’s your glowing smile that does the trick, but if you’re not feeling all that smiley, or you’re getting a lot of business at once, you need to let your restaurant do the talking (and the smiling for you). With display stands, you can showcase your best work – and give yourself a little break as well as a boost in sales. There are numerous reasons to start putting these stands up in your store – but here are three that really matter.
Display Stands
1. You Will Increase Your Sales
When you use display stands to show off your latest pastry or dish, you’re going to show people what they can expect when they order that dish. So often, menus don’t have pictures on them, so the stand helps them make a decision based on what they will actually receive, rather than what they think they’re going to get. That leads to more sales, especially when you showcase higher priced items. If the customer is going to be spending a lot of money, they should find out what their spending it on, right? Also, if you’re serving directly from these stands, as you might with pastries, seeing that others have bought up the rest of the pastry might be incentive enough for a customer to try it.
2. You Will Show Off Your New Items
Instead of having to explain the new items on your menu, you can show them off. By attractively arranging your new pastries or other dishes, people get to see what it will look like and they will be able to imagine what it tastes like. In fact, you might want to include a few samples at the base of the stand so that people can taste the new item too, and then be inspired to order one for themselves.
3. You Will Protect Your Foods
If you want the open air approach at a bakery or a café, the display stand helps to protect the foods from germs in the air as well as bugs. Cover up the goods after they’ve already had a chance to cool from the oven so that you’re not trapping in moisture as well. If you want to display hot items, you might want to use glass topped chafing dishes instead. These tend to hold up better and they will keep the food warm and ready to eat.
With display stands, you can start showcasing the delicious tastes of your restaurant. After all, being put on display should be a positive thing, not a highlight of your flaws.
