To Dutch oven, add sweet potatoes, carrots, prunes, dried apricots, orange juice, raisins, honey, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to low so mixture is at a simmer. Cover and cook 45–50 min., until sweet potatoes are tender.
