Thanksgiving Tsimmes

submitted by rosskat


from NY, USA

2 very large sweet potatoes
4 medium white potatoes
4 large carrots
1 box pitted prunes
1 cup orange juice
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 stick butter or margarine cut up
1 lb ring Kielbasa turkey sausage sliced
salt, pepper, cinnamon and honey to taste

Peel vegetables and uniformly coarse chunk or cube them. I like to use the
crock-pot but one can use a large covered casserole for oven baking; If
using a casserole or Dutch oven for baking add everything and bake 350
about one hour or until tender but not overly soft. Correct seasoning and
sweeten with some honey to taste. If using a crock-pot, cook high 4 to 6
hours or much longer at low. However add the sliced turkey sausage the
last 2 hours of crock-pot cooking since the sausage is already precooked.
Correct seasoning and sweetness. Yield 12 servings. Extras freeze well.

Actually this dish tastes even better when reheated. Remember to spoon the
liquids in bottom of casserole dish over the mixture gently. Note:
variations. omit meat for a vegetarian dish. Try adding sweetened canned
chunk pineapple if desired and use the liquid to replace some of the
orange juice.. Or add a small piece of brisket if desired to replace the
turkey sausage and cook the full time in the crock-pot until meat is fork
tender.
