Tzimmes

I've been gone awhile haven't I?

Well--remember when I said I was going to transfer this blog to Wordpress?

I gave it a shot and boy did I mucker things up. It transferred fine. Its when I tried to tweak the layout to suit me is when things went awry.

I'm still working on it but its gonna be awhile. I don't work real fast. That's not really true either. I run out of patience fast. More so with age. Especially on some things. Others like people, I tend to let slide.

Speaking of patience. To reward you for reading this post, I'm going to give you two cookbooks. Free. No emails to enter and nothing to do but download them.

If you'll click on over to www.holyprotectioncookbook.com/patience.html
you'll see the links to the downloads.


TZIMMES
  • 1½ lb. prunes
  • 2 lb. brisket of beef
  • 6 medium sweet potatoes
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1½ Tbsp. lemon juice

Soak prunes several hours or over night in cold water, just to cover.

Combine prunes, water, and meat in heavy pot. Season with salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil and simmer on low until meat is tender, about 1½ hours.

Remove meat and prunes from gravy. Add pared and sliced sweet potatoes.

Place meat and prunes on top of potatoes and sprinkle with sugar and lemon.

Cover and bake at 350° until potatoes are tender and meat is browned, about 40 minutes.

I hope you enjoy the cookbooks.
