Recipe: Sweet Potato Tsimmes
from The White House
- 5 medium sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
- Half pound to one pound each of dried apricots and pitted prunes
- 3 sliced lemons
1. Peel sweet potatoes and cut in eighths to fill a 10" x 12" baking dish.
2. Add dried fruit.
3. Squeeze lemons.
4. Add juice and rinds with the other ingredients and toss together.
5. Add about a quarter inch of water.
6. Cover tightly with tin foil and cook at 350 degrees for about 1-1/2 hours, or until soft.
7. DO NOT STIR -- when you turn the tzimmes out into a bowl, liquid will glaze the tops.
