Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 365kcal
Ingredients
- 2 large red yams about 2 pounds, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound carrots sliced
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 ½ cup dried prunes
- ½ cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a 6-quart electric pressure cooker, add in all the ingredients and stir together until well-combined.
- Place the lid on and turn the manual pressure on for 2 minutes. When it’s finished, let the pressure out using the quick release.
- If it’s more liquid than you’d like, keep the lid off and turn the saute button on until it evaporates to your liking. It shouldn’t be soupy.
Notes
- Cut evenly: Cut the yams and carrots as equally as possible so they cook evenly. If you have bigger portions, they will be undercooked.
- Release pressure immediately: Make sure to let the pressure out immediately after the cooking time is over. Letting it naturally release will make the potatoes too soft and mushy.
- Reduce sauce: If there is too much sauce after cooking, you can press the saute button to reduce the liquid. The Tzimmes should not be soupy.
- Thicken sauce: If you want to make the sauce thicker, you can add some cornstarch or flour to the sauce and stir.
