Notes: Bake sweet potatoes (through step 2) up to 1 day ahead; cool, combine in 1 pan, cover, and chill. Reheat, covered, in a 450° oven 5 to 10 minutes before combining with jelly mixture in step 4. Ingredients:
4 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes or yams |
2/3 cup red jalapeño jelly |
1/3 cup red wine vinegar |
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro |
about 3 tablespoons lime juice |
salt |
Directions:
1. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks. Divide chunks equally between 2 lightly oiled baking pans (each 10 by 15 in.); cover tightly with foil.
2. Bake in a 450° oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until sweet potatoes are tender when pierced, about 25 minutes longer; switch pan positions halfway through baking.
3. Meanwhile, put jelly in a 2-cup glass measure. Heat in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until softened, about 20 seconds. Add vinegar and stir until well blended.
4. Combine sweet potatoes in 1 pan. Pour jelly mixture evenly over potatoes and turn chunks with a spatula to coat evenly. Continue baking until jelly mixture thickens and sticks to sweet potatoes, about 10 minutes, turning chunks often to prevent scorching.
5. Pour into a wide bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro and add about 3 tablespoons lime juice and salt to taste.
