INGREDIENTS:
4
pounds sweet potatoes or yams
1
cup packed brown sugar
1/2
cup orange juice
1
tablespoon butter
TO
PREPARE:
Rinse
the sweet potatoes and place in a large Dutch oven. Cover with water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, covered, for 30 to 45
minutes or until tender but not soft; drain and cool. Peel the sweet
potatoes and cut into serving-size pieces. Place in a buttered 2-1/2
quart or 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Combine the brown sugar, orange
juice and butter in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes
or until clear. Pour over the sweet potatoes. Bake at 350 degrees
for 30 minutes, basting with the sauce several times.
NOTE:
This is a great make-ahead dish. It can be made one day ahead, covered,
chilled, and reheated in the oven or microwave.
