This crowd-pleasing side dish is easy to make so be sure to have enough on hand. Ingredients 9 medium carrots, (about 1 pound), peeled 4 sweet potatoes, (about 2 pounds) 1 cup bite-size pitted prunes, (about 6 ounces) 1 cup dried apricots, (about 5 ounces) 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice ⅓ cup fresh orange juice ¼ cup honey 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 ½ teaspoons orange zest, (from one orange) ¼ teaspoon salt Directions Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut carrots into 2-inch pieces. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, and lower heat to medium; add sweet potatoes in their skins, and cook for 20 minutes, adding the carrots after 10 minutes. Drain in a colander, and set aside until cool enough to handle. Peel sweet potatoes, and cut into 1-inch chunks. Place in a large bowl along with carrots and remaining ingredients. Mix well, and transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes, basting with pan juices after 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and serve immediately. Rate it Print
