 Sear meat well in hot fat in a Dutch oven or heavy skillet on top of the
 stove.  Transfer to a roasting pan. Peel carrots and cut in 1-inch round
 slices. Place them around the meat.  Add prunes, apricots and lemon slices.
 Peel sweet potatos and cut in 1-inch slices. Place over meat and fruit in
 the roaster.

 Add orange juice to boiling water.  Combine brown sugar and flour and add
 enough water to make a thin paste.  Add this paste to the orange juice
 mixture. Pour over the Tzimmes.  If necessary, add more boiling water to
 bring liquid to the top of the tzimmes.   Cover. Bake at 400 degrees for 1
 hour.  Reduce heat to 325 F. and continue baking 4 1/2 hours.  Uncover and
 bake 30 minutes longer.
