This classic tzimmes recipe is simple, forgiving and easy to make ahead.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4-6

Ingredients

  • 2 lb carrots, peeled, trimmed and cut into ½-inch-thick slices
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 cup prunes (or dried apricots, or a mix)
  • ½ cup golden raisins
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup orange juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
  2. Place the carrots, sweet potatoes, prunes and raisins in a large bowl. Drizzle with the oil, then add the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Pour in the orange juice and toss again to coat.
  4. Transfer to your prepared baking dish, cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes, stirring once or twice. The vegetables should be tender and the sauce thickened into a glaze.
  5. Serve warm.

  • To refrigerate: Cool the tzimmes completely, then cover and refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat, covered, at 325°F until warmed through. Add a splash of orange juice or water if needed.
  • To freeze: Cool completely before freezing in an airtight container for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat, covered, at 325°F until hot, stirring once or twice.
