Skip the onions
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Onions have no business in this recipe. Infact, I tweeked it quite a bit - and it turned out DELICIOUS! Mix all ingredients... (NO ONIONS!!!) and add some honey. I had no white wine around, and it turned out fine. Keep your dried fruits to stuff you love, don't rely on what's here. I used apricots, prunes (does a lot for the taste and color), pears, and cherries. I only used sweet potatoes and carrots for the veggies. Very very easy to make. There are much finer recipes out there, but this one tastes good and really easy to make.Read more

Awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was great! Very easy and great tasting! The sweet potatoes and prunes reminded me of the stewed fruits that my... grandmother used to make. This is a keeper for holiday get togethers.Read more

Not a fan...
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I have never had Tzimmes and after trying it for the first time I found that I do not have a taste for this dish. So if my... opinion loses credibility I will go on to say that it was served at a cooking club (group of 5) that I belong to and there wasn't a person that ate more than a bite of thier portion. Afterwards we are usually fighting over leftovers and sadly to say (hate to waste food) the Tzimmes had only one taker - the garbage disposal.Read more

Now this is a true tzimmes recipe, perfectly balanced with a few gourmet touches. Avoid Wayne Brachman's faux tsimis... with-ugh-marshmallows!Read more
