Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 cup chopped onions

3 large carrots -- sliced

3 large sweet potatoes -- cooked or microwaved

in their skins -- then peeled and sliced

1 large apple or pear -- cored and sliced

1/2 cup chopped prunes

1/4 cup chopped dried apricots

1/2 cup orange juice

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon each: ground ginger and salt

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

 

Heat the oil in a large skillet. SautÄ the onions over medium heat until they

are translucent. Add the carrots and continue to saute until onions and carrots

are golden.

 

In a mixing bowl, combine the onion-carrot mixture with all the remaining

ingredients except walnuts. Mix thoroughly; don't worry if the potato slices

break apart.

 

Transfer the mixture to a large, oiled, shallow baking dish (a round or oval

shape is attractive). Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top begins to turn

slightly crusty.
