Tzimmes with carrots,yams,apples, dried cranberries, dried apricots

Serves 6 as Side.

This is a classic side dish which is often served on Jewish holidays. Since it is sweet and colorful, it adds a lot beside a meat which is basically brown in color.

  • 4 medium sized sweet potatoes, or yams
  • 4 carrots, cleaned and sliced thickly
  • 4 Granny Smith apples
  • 1/2 c of dried cranberries and golden raisins
  • 1/2 c dried apricots, cut up
  • 1 stick of margarine (parve)
  • 1 c brown sugar, either light or dark
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Boil the yams in salted water until still firm but tender, peel off the skins. Boil the carrots in the same fashion. Slice the Granny Smith apples as desired. Place in buttered casserole dish and throw in the cranberries, golden raisins, dried apricots. Top with margarine dabs, the brown sugar mixed with cinnamon. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
