Mom's Tzimus
Description
A traditional recipe for Rosh Hashanah and Passover meals, this version combines carrots, prunes, and potatoes in a sweet side dish.
Ingredients
•
12 ounces pitted prunes
•
2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
•
3 carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
•
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
2 tablespoons matzo meal
Directions
1
Place the prunes in a large saucepan, and add water to barely cover while you peel and cut the potatoes and carrots. Add the potatoes, carrots, lemon juice, and sugar to the water, bring to a boil, and lower heat. Simmer the mixture until the carrots are very tender and the mixture is thick, about 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes.

If a thicker tzimus is desired, stir in the matzo meal and simmer an additional 30 minutes.
