Sweet Potato Tzimmes

This tzimmes
is much chunkier than some.



List of Ingredients





1 bunch carrots (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into
3/4- to 1-inch pieces
6 sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and cut into 3/4- to
1-inch dice
1 cup orange juice, plus additional as necessary
1/2 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus additional for boiling
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup pitted prunes, coarsely chopped
About 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut into
small pieces, plus additional for the baking dish



Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a
3-quart casserole or baking dish, or 2 smaller baking
dishes, with butter or margarine. Bring a large pot
of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and sweet
potatoes, cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and
simmer until cooked through, about 15 minutes,
depending on the size of the vegetables. Meanwhile,
in a medium bowl, combine the orange juice, honey,
salt and cinnamon. Set aside. Drain the vegetables
and transfer them to the prepared dish. Add the prunes
and toss gently. Stir the orange juice mixture and
drizzle it over the top. Sprinkle with the butter or
margarine. Cover with foil and bake, stirring once or
twice, until warmed through, about 20 minutes. If the
tzimmes becomes dry, add a few tablespoons orange
juice.
Makes 10 to 12 servings.
