This is a great accompaniment to baked ham or roast turkey. Ingredients:
1 lb sweet potato |
1/4 cup butter |
1/4 cup brown sugar or 1/4 cup maple syrup or 1/4 cup honey |
2 tablespoons orange juice or 2 tablespoons pineapple juice |
1/2 cup pineapple chunk (optional) |
1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional) or 1 pinch nutmeg (optional) or 1 pinch pumpkin pie spice (optional) |
Directions:
1. Wash the sweet potatoes, but do not peel. Boil them in a large pan of salted water until just tender, for about 30-45 minutes depending on their size. Remove from the heat and drain well. Cool slightly, then peel.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°.
3. Thickly slice the sweet potatoes and arrange in a single overlapping layer in a greased ovenproof dish. Cut the butter into small cubes and dot them over the top.
4. Sprinkle with the sugar, maple syrup or honey and the fruit juice. Add the pineapple and spices, if using.
5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, basting occasionally, until golden brown.
