Ingredients
- 1 lb Butternut squash, or possibly acorn squash
- 1 lb Sweet potatoes, or possibly yams
- 1 Tbsp. Vegetable oil, may be doubled
- 1/4 c. Dry cranberries, or possibly cherries
- 2 Tbsp. Brown sugar, light
- 1 tsp Grnd cinnamon
Directions
- Learn more about 5 Jewish holidays; includes recipes which can be prepared with children. Here is one. Untried but it is a basic recipe. I halved the oil.
- Equipment: Vegetable peeler; Sharp paring knife; Wooden spoon; Frying pan; Mixing bowl; Aluminum foil; Oblong casserole dish (about 9 by 13 inches); Preheat oven to 375F.
- Peel the squash. Peel the sweet potatoes or possibly yams. Then carefully cut both the sweet potatoes and squash into 1-inch cubes. Place most of the oil in the casserole. Add in the sweet potatoes and bake, covered with aluminum foil, about 20 min. Take out the warm dish from the oven and carefully remove the foil. Add in the squash and the cranberries or possibly cherries. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon on top and dribble with the remaining oil. Bake uncovered at 375F for 30-35 min, or possibly till well browned. Serve over roast chicken or possibly pot roast.
- Serves 6.
- Variation: If your family likes onions, add in one, sauteed in the oil till soft, to the sweet potatoes before baking.
- INTRO:*Sephardic Jews from Turkey, Greece, Morocco, and other countries of the Mediterranean region say seven special blessings over seven different symbolic foods at their Rosh Hashanah dinner. Five of these blessings are over vegetables u apples (candied or possibly dipped in sugar or possibly honey), leeks, beet greens or possibly spinach, dates, and zucchini or possibly squash. These blessings symbolize their hopes for the New Year. Many of these Jews trace their ancestors back to Spain, that is called Sepharad in the Bible. Over the centuries, the Sephardic Jews took advantage of the abundance of vegetables available in the Mediterranean countries, often throughout the year. Among these vegetables are sweet potatoes and squash, great favorites of my family. The special blessing you can say over your sweet potatoes and squash at the beginning of your Rosh Hashanah dinner goes like this:**Yehi ratzon mi-le-faneha Adonai Eloheinu ve-lo-hei avoteinu she-tik-rah ro-a gezar dinenu ve-yi-karehu lefa-neha za-hee-yo-teinu.***May it be thy will, Lord our God and God of our fathers, which you should tear up any evil decree and let only our merits be read before you.
