Tzimes

Serves 12

Today Ema makes the Tzimas with frozen baby carrots, but when we were growing up, she peeled, and sliced "regular" carrots befor coking them. The rest was made the same.

Safta Yafa always said, (and I mean every time Tzimas was served), "Tzimas ochlim ba'sof", and she would pass them on.

Ingredients:

1 bag	frozen baby carrots (800 grams)
1/2 cup	honey
1/2 cup	water
some	prunes (optional)
1/3 tsp.	cinnamon

Preparation:

Place in small pot prunes, cover with water and cook till they puff up (or leave without cooking several hours)
In larger pot: cook carrots in salted water.
Add honey and cinnamon.
Cook about 1/2 hour, stirring every once in a while. Add water if needed. (If there is too much water: boil off water, or mix 1 Tbs. flour or cornflour with 1/4 cup cold water and mix in to carrots to thicken).
Place in serving dish, and position prunes on top.
