*Note: You can substitute dried apricots for the prunes if you prefer.
**Note: For a stew with thicker gravy, spoon 1 tablespoon of flour into a cup and stir in ¼ cup of the tzimmes liquid until the mixture is lump-free. Add the flour mixture to the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 10 minutes. (This might affect the recipe’s PointsPlus value.)
