Arrange carrots and sweet potatoes in baking dish.
Drain pineapple, reserving liquid. Add vegetable liquid to pineapple juice, to equal 1-1/2 cups. Cook prunes or dried fruit bits in this liquid. Then add pineapple chunks, brown sugar.
If using cornstarch dissolve it in the lemon juice and add to the fruit, stirring until fruit looks glazed.
Spoon fruit aver carrots and sweet potatoes. Cover and bake at 300°F for about an hour basting occasionally, if possible. Serve hot.
