My mom made this every New Years. It is a traditional dish in her part of Germany (near the North Sea) as well as in my dad's region (near the Rhine River). It may be a custom all over Germany, idk. Scandinavian people share a love for this dish at New Years, too. It looks pretty and pink, but don't be fooled - it's not sweet! (I brought some to work for lunch once and a co-worker thought it was some fruit fluff. She was totally grossed out when she found out what it was!!)
