Personally, I think this recipe screams Thanksgiving! with its combination of apple cider, cranberries, and sweet potatoes. However, I guarantee you will enjoy this at any meal. This can be partially prepared a day ahead, and then finished the day of the big feast. Ingredients:
3 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks |
1 1/2 cups apple cider or 1 1/2 cups apple juice |
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed |
5 tablespoons butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
salt and pepper, to taste |
1/3 cup finely chopped scallion |
Directions:
1. Cook sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until halfway cooked (when a knife inserted into the center meets with considerable resistance), about 5 minutes. Drain and cool. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
2. Combine cider, sugar, butter, salt and allspice in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Add sweet potatoes and cook 5 minutes. Add cranberries and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze and the sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl and sprinkle with scallions.
