Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes (about 3 large)1/2 lb carrots (about 4-5)1 cup dried apricots1 cup prunes1 cup dried apple rings2 cups orange juice1 cup water*Optional - honey for Rosh Hashanah (not included in nutritional info)*Optional - stevia (again, not calculated in nutritional info)
1. Wash vegetables.
2. Peel sweet potatoes and, if desired, carrots.
3. Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2 to 1 inch slices. If they are large sweet potatoes, cut the slices in half. Remember, the larger the slices, the longer the cooking time.
4. Cut carrots into 1/2 to 1 inch slices.
5. In large pot, place carrots, sweet potatoes, orange juice, and water (enough to cover veggies), and close lid. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
6. Add dried fruit, and replace lid. Cook for about another 5 minutes.
7. Remove lid, and simmer until liquid is all absorbed, and veggies are nice and tender (almost mushy).
8. Check sweetness. If desired, add 2 packets of stevia (to taste). For Rosh Hashanah, add honey (not calculated in nutritional info). I have never needed to add anything for sweetness, but tastes may differ.
9. Remove from heat, and enjoy!
