Simple but so yummy! If you don't care for dried apricots, you could try dates. Ingredients:
1/3 cup bourbon |
1/2 cup unsulphered dried apricot, chopped |
5 lbs sweet potatoes or 5 lbs yams |
1/2 cup honey or 1/2 cup maple syrup |
1/3 cup butter |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Soak apricots in bourbon in a small bowl.
3. Scrub and pierce sweet potatoes. Bake until soft, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
4. When cool enough to handle, scoop insides of sweet potatoes into a medium bowl.
5. Add honey, butter, and vanilla to potatoes and mash together, keeping some chunks.
6. Stir in the drunk apricots and any bourbon sitting in the small bowl.
7. Spread in a shallow 2 1/2 quart baking dish.
8. Bake, uncovered, until hot in the center, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
