Roasted Tzimmes - cooking recipe

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)
1/4 cup dates
1/2 cup dried pitted prunes
1 cup dried apricot
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed is best)
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Heat oven to 350deg F.
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, and add sweet potatoes and carrots 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 30min, basting with pan juices midway.
Uncover foil and broil for 5 minutes
Remove from oven, and serve immediately.
Leftovers are great the next day, warmed in the oven (DH eats it cold!).
