DD> Rosh Hashanah ... brisket ... not a traditional part
JW> Jewish people also like to have a large cut of
JW> meat as the centerpiece of a celebration feast. Back in Ottawa
JW> the big two were whole braised brisket and large roasted chicken.
DD> Very true for *some* holidays. But I consulted with both Rabbi
DD> Emeritus Barry Marx and my friend Les' new (and vary Kosher) wife.
My experience is based on personal connections to people. It may
well be that our respective cities have a Jewish population with
differing origins and customs. Most of Ottawa's Jews have
Lithuanian, Polish and Russian backgrounds. Marx sounds German.
DD> Rosh Hashanah is as I stated.
I agree with the part about the apples, carrots, honey and other
sweet things playing a part.
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Squash Tzimmes
Categories: Jewish, Vegetables, Fruit
Yield: 16 Servings
3 Very large sweet potatoes
1 lb Carrots
1 md Butternut squash
5 Tart prunes
10 sm Sweet prunes
1/2 c Orange juice
1/2 c Honey
2 ts Cinnamon
Peel vegetables and cut into bite-sized pieces. Cut prunes in
half. Put all listed ingredients in a large pot, and add water to
cover. Simmer for a few hours (until veggies are all tender) or
overnight (until the sweet potato dissolves.) I suspect this would
be real good with pumpkin.

When I looked up "tart prunes" I found references to red plums vs.
blue and black plums, drying underripe plums and "sour prunes are
first soaked in vinegar or tamarind paste before drying. They are
used in Middle Eastern cooking."
I'm not sure what the OP was referring too but a little lemon
juice in the stew would be a nice idea. - JW
MMMMM
