There are several New Year’s folklore traditions in this sweet little package. Unwrap the bright flavors of lemon and pomegranate, combined with salty nutty pistachios.
Citrus fruits are considered symbols of prosperity and good fortune. Their bright colors and refreshing flavors are thought to bring a burst of energy and optimism for the year ahead.
Pomegranates are often associated with abundance and fertility. Their numerous seeds are seen as symbols of prosperity and future growth. In many traditions, eating pomegranates at the stroke of midnight is believed to bring good luck and success in the new year.
Pistachios are considered auspicious and a symbol of good health and well-being. Their green color represents wealth and prosperity. The hard shell is thought to represent protection from life’s hardships and opening them symbolizes unlocking new opportunities in the coming year.
Using all three in one dessert seemed like a great way to ring in the New Year!
