Carrot Tzimmes

I just made a whole batch of this for tomorrow night (Jewish New Year)

The carrots, cut into coin-like shapes, represent money, and the hope for a plentiful new year.

I used 2 bags of carrots (about 10 in each bag),  a handful of dried prunes, one whole jar of honey (500g), a tablespoon of cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and a small amount of olive oil.

Firstly, slice up the carrots in your food processor (or by hand if necessary, although that takes ages). I used the middle size slicer so they weren't too thin and fragile.

Then, put a small amount of oil in a large pan, add the carrots, prunes, honey, cinnamon and salt, and about a cup of water.  Bring to the boil and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring regularly.

This makes enough for a large dinner party.  Serve as a side dish.
