Sweet and buttery soft, this meat delivers the wow factor for your main dish l’kavod Yom Tov. We used cubed kolichel meat, but this recipe works well with most cuts of meat.
Thank you to CLP for the inspiration for this recipe! It’s a new family favorite!
3 peaches, cut into chunks
1/2 pineapple, cut into chunks
3/4 cup sugar

1 and 1/2 pounds cubed kolichel meat
Gefen Salt, to taste
Pereg Pepper, to taste
In a pot, cook peaches, pineapple, sugar, water, orange juice, lemon juice, ginger, and salt over a low flame for about 30 minutes, mixing often.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Blend with an immersion blender and set aside.
In a pot, heat oil. Sauté onions for five to 10 minutes.

Can this be made with chicken?
We haven’t tested it but it can potentially work as long as you keep a close eye on the chicken. Typically 2 hours is a little long to cook chicken.
