I love sweet potatoes and this is wonderful. Points 4. Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks |
1 1/2 cups apple cider or 1 1/2 cups apple juice |
1/4 cup packed golden brown sugar |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
Directions:
1. Cook sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until halfway cooked, (a knife inserted into center will encounter resistance), about 5 minutes.
2. Drain and cool.
3. (This step can be done 1 day ahead if sweet potatoes are covered and refrigerated.)
4. Combine cider, sugar, butter, nutmeg and allspice in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Bring to a boil, stirring often.
6. Add potatoes and reduce heat so liquid is simmering.
7. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Add cranberries and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze and potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
9. (If the glaze becomes very thick before potatoes become tender, thin it with a small amount of cider.
10. When potatoes are tender, transfer to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon.
11. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
12. Pour remaining glaze over sweet potatoes and serve.
