3/4 cup pitted prunes
Soak prunes, apricots, and raisins in boiling water to cover for 1/2 hour, until plump. Drain well.
Meanwhile, cook carrots and sweet potato in boiling water until tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain well. Combine reserved pineapple juice with remaining ingredients except pineapple chunks; mix gently. Place mixture in a sprayed 3-quart casserole.
Bake covered in a preheated 350#&176;F oven for 35 minutes. Stir in pineapple chunks and bake uncovered 15 minutes more, basting once or twice.
