TZIMMES(V)               USENET Cookbook               TZIMMES(V)

SWEET-POTATO TZIMMES

     TZIMMES - Vegetable and fruit casserole for Passover

     The original version of this recipe came from the Jewish
     Holiday Cookbook, by Gloria Kaufer Greene. It benefits from
     being made ahead and then heated for the Seder.

INGREDIENTS (serves 8)
     4         large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
     1         butternut squash, peeled and diced
     4         tart apples, peeled, cored, and diced
     1/2 lb    prunes, pitted and halved
     1/3 cup   water
     1/3 cup   sweet red Passover wine
     1/3 cup   sugar
     1 tsp     ground cinnamon
     1/2 tsp   ground nutmeg
     1/2 tsp   ground ginger

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl.
               Mix well to distribute the liquid evenly.

          (2)  Dump into a baking dish and seal the baking dish
               tightly with aluminum foil and a lid.

          (3)  Bake 1 hour at 350 deg. F.  Cool.

          (4)  To serve, reheat, then empty into a serving dish.
               Don't serve it out of the pan you cooked it in
               (the movement into the serving dish squeezes
               juices out of the fruit).

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 10 minutes preparation, 1 hour
     cooking.  Precision: no need to measure.
