I need a tzimmess recipe that does NOT have anything in it but carrots and sweet potatoes.
NO prunes, pinapple or anything else. My dh hates that.

Anyone?

My mother's tzimmes recipe:

cook 10 carrots in water justcovering them.
1 Tbsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. honey
At least 1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Cook 1-1 1/2 hours

optional - add raisins or prunes.

melt margerine in pot.
add frozen baby carrots or crinkle cut carrots- your preference
pour honey ontop
let it cook on low flame mixing every once in a while

THAT'S IT.
enjoy

of course for others- you can add crushed pineapple, dried apricots, raisins etc. or even dumplings for a change.

I cut up carrots according to how many people will be coming put water just enough to cover add honey 3 tbsp. or more according to how sweet experiment till you get the right amount and a dash of nutmeg. Boil than simmer for one hour. Enjoy!

You can freeze tzimmis, but wrap tightly in a zip lock w/o air and then when you defrost maybe add a bit of water in the pan (while covered).

My mother's recipe and mine -
Cut up carrots and sweet potatoes to be the same size...
Put in pan, drizzle with honey, sprinkle w/ brown sugar and add some bits of margarine. Bake.

I oil the bottom of the pan cook carrots on a low flame til soft (add drop of salt). Then I put in Honey about 3 Tbls. unless you like it sweeter and water just to cover. Cook for a few minutes. Yes you can easily freeze it.
