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.

This chili recipe is the easiest around. It is delicious and sure to please everyone. Using home-canned tomatoes gives the best flavor but is not necessary. Enjoy.
