Steps:
- Place the carrots in a bowl. Add the sugar and honey. Stir well and let sit in the refrigerator at least a few hours, preferably overnight. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and place the carrot-sugar mixture in a large casserole dish. Add the prunes if you're using them. Chop the onions and place in another bowl. Chop the schmaltz and add to the onions. Add the flour salt and pepper. Start mixing with a wooden spoon and then knead with your hands until it becomes doughy. Roll the dough like a sausage and place it in the center of the casserole dish, with the carrot mixture. If including the optional meat, rub the brisket with salt and pepper. Sautee an onion and pan-sear the brisket in the same pan. Bury the meat under the carrots, together with the kneidlach mixture. The carrots should have released some liquid. Depending on the amount of moisture, add some water-just enough so the carrots are covered. Cover the dish and place it in the oven. After 15 minutes, turn the temperature down to 320 degrees. Cook for about three to four hours, checking periodically to make sure the dish doesn't boil over. Can be frozen and reheated.

TZIMMES
No Rosh Hashanah celebration is complete without a serving of tzimmes, a dish of root vegetables and dried fruits. The fruit and honey in the mix symbolize the sweetness of the New Year. The carrots and sweet potatoes are cut into rounds to honor the tradition of hope for goodness and sweetness without end. This version of the classic dish gets a savory undertone from a full cup of vegetable broth, making it all the better to pair with a slice of brisket or roast chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat and then add the carrots, sweet potatoes and onions. Sauté, stirring frequently, until lightly browned all over, about 8 minutes. Spread the vegetables evenly in a 9-by-13-inch casserole and tuck the ginger, apricots and prunes around the dish.
- Add the vegetable broth and honey to a small bowl and whisk together to combine. Pour over the fruits and vegetables, then submerge the cinnamon stick. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and braise for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, stir the mixture and continue cooking (uncovered) until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is reduced and thickened to a syrupy consistency, about 30 minutes more.
- Break the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces, dot over the top and gently stir to coat the vegetable mixture in the reduced sauce. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and a light shake of cinnamon. Serve topped with mint and parsley.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Use fresh, young carrots for the best flavor and texture. Avoid old or woody carrots, as they will not cook evenly.
- Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the carrots are different sizes, the smaller ones may overcook before the larger ones are done.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the carrots from burning.
- Cover the pot: This will help to create steam, which will help the carrots to cook more quickly.
- Don't overcook the carrots: Carrots should be cooked until they are tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked carrots will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Add the honey and orange juice towards the end of cooking: This will help to preserve their flavor and prevent them from burning.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Golden Carrot Tzimmes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The carrots are tender and flavorful, and the honey and orange juice add a touch of sweetness and tang. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
