Recipe Status: I've always passed on the candied yams because they were sickeningly sweet, marshmallows, crushed pineapple, sugar, sugar and more sugar. Blech. But wanted to find a way to still have tasty sweet potatoes without all that sugary nastiness. Today's experiment was a success! (Even though it does have a small amount of sugar.) Smacking my lips...
3-4 large sweet potatoes, cubed (About 6 cups)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp grated orange zest
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
2 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 stick butter, melted
1/2 tsp each: nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger
1/4 tsp each: cloves, salt, pepper
Boil the cubed sweet potatoes until just tender. Spread in a 9x13 casserole dish. Combine brown sugar, juices and spices, and pour over potatoes. Bake @ 350 for 30 minutes. IF you so desire, you can top with mini marshmallows. But it stands on its own.
