A friend made this sweet potato recipe when I had dinner at her house. I liked it so much, I asked her to share the recipe with me. Ingredients:
1 can (15-1/4 ounces) pear halves |
3 cups cold mashed sweet potatoes |
4 tablespoons butter, melted, divided |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 tablespoons honey |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
6 tablespoons whole-berry cranberry sauce |
Directions:
1. Drain pears, reserving 2 tablespoons juice (discard remaining juice or save for another use). In a bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, 3 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, salt, nutmeg and reserved pear juice. beat until combined. Spoon into a greased shallow 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Arrange pear halves onto top, cut side up.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, orange peel and remaining butter. Cook until heated through. Drizzle half over pears. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining honey mixture. bake 15 minutes longer. Fill pear halves with cranberry sauce. Yield: 6 servings.
