The recipe for these simply seasoned sweet potato wedges comes from a 1900's cookbook. It's proof that tried-and-true dishes never go out of style.Phyllis Schmalz, Kansas City, Kansas Ingredients:
3/4 cup apricot preserves |
1/4 cup water |
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
4 large sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds), peeled and cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine preserves and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add the lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg.
2. Place potatoes in two greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Brush half of the preserve mixture over potatoes.
3. Bake at 400° for 35-40 minutes or until tender, basting occasionally with remaining preserve mixture. Yield: 8 servings.
