Stir the brandied cherries into the simmered vegetable Hanukkah tzimmes. Add the tzimmes and cherry mix to the boxes. Top with the brown butter pearl onions. For the two-compartment tab box with insert, add the tzimmes to the large side and include another Hanukkah favorite such as a mushroom barley noodle kugel to the smaller side. 

Conventional Oven: Bake the tab box in a 350-degree oven for 15 to18 minutes. 

Microwave: Microwave for 2 to 4 minutes. 

Let rest for 2 minutes before opening the boxes. Garnish with fresh citrus wedges and a quality blue cheese like Cropwell Bishop Creamer Blue Stilton
