Tsimmes

Traditional tsimmes has its roots in carrots and prunes, which are stewed together with honey and citrus. This recipe does not contain carrots or prunes, but both can be added.

Ingredients:

• 12 oz Dried mixed fruit, large pieces sliced
• 3 oz Premiere dried cherries
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• Sugar or honey to taste, optional (note: because some dried fruit already has sugar added to it, you may not need any additional sweetner)

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients and cover with water. Simmer until thick, approximately 20-30 minutes.

Serve alone or alongside roasted chicken or turkey, or add to ice cream for dessert.
