Reviews
Oh, gosh -The fruits in this recipe make it beautiful!
Love, Love, Love the contrast of colored fruits and vegetables…Orange sweet potatoes, dried deep red sweet and tart cherries, yellow pears, white potatoes and onions, dried black plums, dried golden apricots
The wine gives it a depth of flavor and balances out the sweet flavors -in the end, you will not know there is wine in there. I substituted one cup of diet Ginger Ale for one of the cups of wine and added 1/2c. Honey, and 1t. salt to again, balance the sweetness. (you may add more/less/omit salt to taste). The dried tart cherries give this recipe a wonderful “tang”.
There are so many variations of Tzimmes out there. Every person has a favorite. If you don’t like onions much, leave ’em out.
Really, I don’t think there is such a thing as a terrible Tzimmes. If you don’t like this recipe, either you’re not used to Tzimmes or you’re having a really bad day!
Enjoy!
