Sear meat in hot fat (oil) in a Dutch oven or heavy skillet on top of the stove. Transfer to a roasting pan. Peel carrots and cut into 1-inch round slices. Place them around the meat. Add prunes, apricots and lemon slices.

Peel sweet potatoes, cut in 1-inch slices . Place over meat and fruit in the roaster. Add orange juice to boiling water. Combine brown sugar and flour and add enough water to make a thin paste. Add this paste to the orange-juice mixture. Pour over the tzimmes. If necessary add more boiling water to bring water to the top of the tzimmes.

Cover; Bake at 400* F for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 325*F and continue baking 4 1/2 hours. Uncover and bake 30 minutes longer.
