Tzimmes


Kids really seem to like this dish, probably owing to the sweetness. The recipe also works well with sweet potatoes. Some people do both, but I'd pre-cook the potatoes a bit in boiling water to adjust for differences in cooking time if you try it.

You Will Need:

Juice of four oranges
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons butter, cut in pieces
8 carrots, thickly sliced in rounds
5-6 prunes, stones removed
2 large pieces of crystalised ginger, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Toss everything in a baking dish, cover and bake 30 minutes. Remove cover and baste with juice. Cook another thirty minutes or so (until most of the liquid is absorbed and carrots are soft)basting every ten minutes. Serve warm.

We make a very similar tsimmis at our house...but I must say, it's still the dish most leave behind when taking seconds.

Shana Tova, hope your year will be as sweet as the tsimmis.
