Ingredients
- 3 cups, sliced carrots
- 2 medium, peeled and cubed sweet potatoes
- 1 cup, chopped dried apricots
- 1 cup, chopped pitted prunes
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 1 cup orange juice
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and cubed sweet potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes until they are just tender. Drain and set aside.
In an oven-safe casserole dish, combine the cooked carrots and sweet potatoes with the dried apricots, prunes, and raisins.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Pour the orange juice mixture over the fruits and vegetables in the casserole dish. Toss gently to combine.
Dot the top of the mixture with the butter, distributing it evenly.
Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the top to caramelize slightly.
Remove the tzimmes from the oven and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or a sweet accompaniment!
