Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen

To All Readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen Rosh HaShanah the Jewish New Year is upon us. It begins a time of introspection and prayers for the coming year. We search through the foibles and mistakes of the past in order to understand how to make the future better. For the two days of Rosh HaShanah we eat honey upon our bread. It is but a simple tradition, reminding us of the sweetness of all life has to offer and the sweetness to come. May this coming year bring an end to wanton destruction and death.

The following hit my email, and of course the first thing I say is "Oy Vey!". Subject: A Request Ted, there is recipe I'd love to find. During one of the memorable dinners at my college roommate's home, her Mom served a side dish called (I think) Carrot and Apple Tzimmes (sp?). I know this dish was sweet and had apples and carrots in it, but I've not found a recipe that sounds like the same thing I had at the Gonchar's house, and sadly my friend and her parents have passed away, so the recipe has been lost forever to me. Here's your challenge: come up with a recipe that is an equivalent or a close one to it and I'll give you my eternal gratitude and a gold star for cleverness and know-how. Nance Well here we go Nance. Your wish is my command. But first some background. Tzimmes is a traditional Casserole made usually for Rosh Ha'Shanah - The Jewish New Year.
