My Mom developed this recipe which has become a holiday tradition in our family. It's different from many tzimuses because it is not made with sweet potatoes.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces pitted prunes
- 2 large potatoes , peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 carrots , peeled and sliced into rounds
- 1.5 teaspoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 2 tablespoons matzo meal , Optional
Instructions
-
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.
