4 to 6 carrots
4 sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
1 cup bite-size pitted dates (about 6 ounces)
1 cup dried apricots (about 5 ounces)
1 medium apple, sliced (optional)
1/2 cup dried cherries (Michigan-style and optional)

1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup fresh orange (processed with rind)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut carrots into 2-inch pieces. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, and lower heat to medium; add sweet potatoes in their skins, and cook for 20 minutes, adding the carrots after 10 minutes. Drain in a colander, and set aside until cool enough to handle.

Peel sweet potatoes, and cut into 1-inch chunks. Place in a large bowl along with carrots.
3
Melt butter in a saute pan, add fruit, brown sugar, maple syrup, orange juice and simmer for a minute or two, just until the mixture is heated. Mix with potatoes and carrots. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well, and transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.
4
Cover and bake for 30 minutes, basting with pan juices after 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and serve immediately.
