SWEET POTATO, CARROT AND DRIED FRUIT CASSEROLE

Sweet Potato, Carrot and Dried Fruit Casserole image

This dish is inspired by several tsimmes recipes in Joan Nathan's "Jewish Cooking in America." Tsimmes, a Yiddish word that means "fuss," doesn't have to be fussy at all. Sometimes the dish contains meat (and is fussier than this one), but sometimes it's just fruit and vegetables. Warning: You may find yourself eating this for breakfast.

FRUITY SWEET POTATOES

Fruity Sweet Potatoes image

I have a favorite way to make sweet potatoes. They are the type swimming in a concoction of butter, brown sugar and marshmallows until the syrup is thick and sticky. Loaded with fat and calories, they are reserved for the holidays (when we tend to throw caution to the wind regarding our waistlines!). I found this recipe in a Slow Cooker cookbook and decided to give it a try. These are rich and sweet, with far less fat and sugar than I would normally add which equates to being able to eat more of them. :-) They smell and taste SO good! NOTE: I used my smaller 4 quart cooker
