6 large sweet potatoes (about 4-1/2 pounds) |
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks |
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch |
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar |
1 cup orange juice |
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained |
1 cup dried cranberries |
Directions:
1. Scrub and pierce sweet potatoes. Bake at 400° for 45-50 minutes or just until tender. Reduce heat to 350°. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/2-in. slices. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
2. Drain pineapple, reserving juices. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and brown sugar. Gradually stir in orange juice and reserved pineapple juice. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the pineapple, oranges and cranberries; heat through.
3. Pour sauce over sweet potatoes. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly. Yield: 8 servings.
