TZIMMES WITH DRIED CHERRIES AND PEACHES

Steps:

• Place squash and potatoes into Dutch oven and pour enough water over to cover. Bring to boil. Reduce to simmer and add dried fruits, honey, sugar, lemon juice and rind, and spices. Stir to mix. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until potatoes are cooked. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Adjust spices and honey to taste. This thickens as it cools. It is best made the day before.

TZIMMES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat and then add the carrots, sweet potatoes and onions. Sauté, stirring frequently, until lightly browned all over, about 8 minutes. Spread the vegetables evenly in a 9-by-13-inch casserole and tuck the ginger, apricots and prunes around the dish.
• Add the vegetable broth and honey to a small bowl and whisk together to combine. Pour over the fruits and vegetables, then submerge the cinnamon stick. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and braise for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, stir the mixture and continue cooking (uncovered) until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is reduced and thickened to a syrupy consistency, about 30 minutes more.
• Break the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces, dot over the top and gently stir to coat the vegetable mixture in the reduced sauce. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and a light shake of cinnamon. Serve topped with mint and parsley.
