Sunny Fruit And Carrot Tsimmes

Free-will doctrine – what does it? It magnifies man into God; it declares God’s purposes a nullity, since they cannot be carried out unless men are willing. It makes God’s will a waiting servant to the will of man, and the whole covenant of grace dependent upon human action. Denying election on the ground of injustice it holds God to be a debtor to sinners, so that if He gives grace to one He is bound to do so to all. It teaches that the blood of Christ was shed equally for all men and since some are lost, this doctrine ascribes the difference to man’s own will, thus making the atonement itself a powerless thing until the will of man gives it efficacy. Those sentiments dilute the scriptural description of man’s depravity, and by imputing strength to fallen humanity, rob the Spirit of the glory of His effectual grace: this theory says in effect that it is of him that willeth, and of him that runneth, and not of God that showeth mercy.

In large heavy saucepan, melt margarine over medium heat. Add carrots,
white and sweet potatoes; mix to coat evenly. Pour in stock and orange
juice. Cover and bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low, simmering
until vegetables are barely softened, 15 to 20    minutes. Add  prunes,
raisins, apricots, honey, lemon rind and juice, cinnamon,  salt and
cloves. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until dried  fruit has
softened. Blend starch into cold water; pour into fruit  mixture. Cook
for 5 minutes until sauce thickens and glazes  vegetables, stirring
carefully. Makes about 8 servings. Note:  Tsimmes, a colourful side
dish of carrots, potatoes and dried fruits,  provides a blend of
interesting flavours. "Much of our festive food  is sweet and fruity,"
says Judy Rogers, "because it symbolizes our  wishes for the year to
come." Formatted by Carole Walberg  Recipe by: Caroline Parry, Canadian
