Rosh Hashanah

This lovely recipe may sound more like potpourri than supper. But we assure you, its flavor is just as compelling as its fragrance.

Everything you remember from childhood--slathered with butter, sprinkled with cinnamon, and, if you were lucky, drizzled with honey.

Those requisite olives that you plonk on the coffee table before company comes just got more respectable but no more troublesome.

Beer, not cider, is the stealth ingredient in these rings of apple-y goodness. The malty hoppiness deepens the fritter's flavor, the carbonation ensures an ethereally airy texture. Nifty, eh?
