SWEET POTATO TSIMIS
There are several versions of tsimis. Many traditional recipes contain meat; we never had tsimis with meat. Every Jewish family has someone who makes this Rosh Hashanah or Hanukah tradition. In my family, it is my sister-in-law, Alice, and my aunt Trudy. Something with honey is always eaten on Rosh Hashanah.

SWEET POTATO TZIMMES
"Tzimmes" is one of those Yiddish words that loses something in translation. It is probably best defined as confusion or a mishmash...which is probably where this casserole gets its name. This recipe can be made 2 days in advance; cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. You can vary the proportion of carrots to sweet potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 3-quart casserole or baking dish (or 2 smaller baking dishes) with non-stick cooking oil spray.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and sweet potatoes; cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook about 15 minutes, until the vegetables are easily pierced with a fork.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the orange juice,honey,salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Drain the vegetables and transfer them to the prepared baking dish. Add the prunes and toss gently. Stir the orange juice mixture and drizzle over the top. Sprinkle with the butter pieces. (At this point, the tzimmes can be covered and refrigerated until ready to bake.) Cover with aluminum foil and bake 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once or twice, until warmed through. If the tzimmes becomes dry, add a few more tablespoons of orange juice.

- Cook's Note: Got extra marshmallow? This should be your biggest problem. Spread a 1/8-inch coating of all-purpose flour on a baking sheet. Pipe out 1-inch rounds of marshmallow onto the flour. They will spread a little, so leave room. The marshmallows will be set in 20 minutes. Marshmallows are sticky. Dip your fingers in flour before handling.
TSIMMES (BEEF, CARROT AND SWEET POTATO STEW)
Tsimmes is a medieval German Jewish holiday beef stew that spread with the Jews to Eastern Europe. It was originally made with carrots and turnips, then when potatoes came to the Old World, they were added. When the dish came to the New World, sweet potatoes often replaces the white potatoes. Now I've tweaked it to my taste: I substitute the yellow yams or sweet potatoes with the white Japanese sweet potatoes that I love. I use flanken, a cut of short ribs found at kosher butchers, but any cut of short ribs will do, as will beef stew meat. I keep the bones in for flavor - and add a bay leaf for the same reason - and, rather than skimming the fat as it cooks, I simply put the stew pot in the refrigerator overnight so I can easily remove the hardened fat the next day. (A generation or two before me, cooks would have saved that fat for cooking and baking.) Instead of adding a little matzo meal to thicken the broth, I find no need for that, especially if I reduce the sauce a little before serving. I add pitted prunes, which are sweet enough to eliminate the need for brown sugar or honey and, at the end, I add parsley for color.

Steps:
- A day before serving, heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Season the meat with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
- Put the meat and the bay leaf in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot, and add enough water to cover (about 8 cups). Bake, covered, for about an hour, then remove from heat, let cool and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, the fat will have congealed on top; using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the layer of fat.
- Add the sweet potatoes, onions, carrots and prunes to the meat, and stir to combine. Bake, covered, for another hour, then remove the lid and cook until the potatoes are cooked, the meat is tender and the water is reduced, another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Season to taste. If there is more broth than you'd like, ladle some out and save for another use. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.
