Prepare these candied vegetables a day ahead and chill them; then when the ham's finished baking, reheat the vegetables just before serving. Ingredients:
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled |
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar |
1 cup butter or margarine |
1/2 cup apple cider |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 large braeburn or other cooking apples, cored and cut into 1/2 |
Directions:
1. Cut sweet potatoes in half crosswise. Cook in boiling water to cover 10 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut crosswise into 1/2 slices.
2. Combine brown sugar and next 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; boil 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
3. Layer sweet potato and apple slices in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Pour glaze over slices. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 1 hour or until potatoes are candied and glaze is thickened, basting with glaze after 30 minutes.
