On Rosh Hashanah, festive meals are held in the home, and traditional foods (such as the well-known apple dipped in honey) are eaten to symbolize a sweet year (See Talmud, Keritut 6a).Rosh Hashanah is the first two days of the month of Tishrei, and is the Jewish New Year. Our traditions state that at that time the world is judged for the coming year (Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 16a); and during services we read the Torah and say prayers which ask for a good year and which declare God's kingship over the world. The shofar (ram's horn) is blown (Leviticus 23:24; Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 33b-34a), symbolically heralding God's kingship, and calling to mind the covenant of Isaac (see Genesis ch.22).See also:

What is the best fruits preparation for New Year's Eve?

If you are referring to the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah), which fruits are served is a matter of custom. Very many families serve a slice of apple dipped in honey. For allusions to a good year based on the Hebrew words, some also have dates and pomegranates. On the second night of Rosh Hashanah, it is customary to say the Shehecheyanu blessing on a new fruit (a fruit which one has not eaten yet in the current season).
