Great recipe. A few modifications to hold family memories & get a moister finished product.
Replaced apple and juice of orange & lemon w/pineapple chunks and pineapple juice, my families acid tradition. Did keep the orange zest. Added vegetable water from tri-colored carrots & sweet potatoes.
Boiled vegetables until fork tender
baked 15 min longer.
- [ ] 1 lb tri-colored baby carrots (Trader Joe’s is only 12 oz so supplemented with two thinner regular carrots cut into 2” lengths. Incorporate parsnips next time. )
- [ ] 1 cup canned/fresh diced pineapple
- [ ] 3/4 cup pineapple juice (can be juice that remains from can)
- [ ] 3/4 cup cooking water
- [ ] Used Dried unsweetened sweet dark cherries (Trader Joe’s)

Tzimmes with butter? Not a chance! Assuming this is a side dish, as is tradition, this would be served with some kind of meat, so this is not kosher. Otherwise, delicious, but the butter isn't necessary at all!

Thank you, Nanette. And right you are! No butter! For a kosher side dish with meat, use margarine or olive oil for sauteeing the fruit along with brown sugar -- essentially like you would in making a compote.
Pardon the slip-up on my part, but I did correct it in a comment when this recipe was first posted. Looking back at the date - 2012, I see I was not all that precise with the ingredients -- or the method. Uh, it's kinda how I make a Tzimmes -- a recipe that can't go too far wrong.

This is a mildly edited version of the tzimmes recipe on the Martha Stewart site. I’ve used THAT recipe for years. I mean, really, you didn’t even change the wording. Sheesh!

can someone please clarify 1/4 cup orange processed with rind? Is that juice, or squeeze orange in the food processor with the rind? thanks

Please note, if you're making this dish for a kosher-for-Passover meal, skip the butter. Use margarine, or olive oil.
