Ingredients

9-10 medium carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces (about 1-pound)
4 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 2-pounds)
¼ cup dates
½ cup dried pitted prunes
1 cup dried apricot
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup orange juice fresh is best
¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1½ teaspoons orange zest
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and add sweet potatoes and carrots, cooking until just beginning to get tender (but not yet tender), about 10-15 minutes. Drain well.
Add to a large mixing bowl with all remaining ingredients, and mix well with a wooden spoon.The carrots and potatoes should still be a little hard, and mixing shouldn’t cause them to fall apart or mush.
Cover with foil, and bake approximately 30 minutes, basting midway with pan juices.
Uncover foil and broil for 5 minutes.
Remove from oven, and serve immediately.
Warmed-over leftovers of this dish are delicious.
