Another lovely way to serve the fantastic sweet potato!! I just love this as a side dish or for that matter, a sweet potato just baked and served with lots of butter makes me very happy!! Ingredients:
8 cups sweet potatoes, peeled, cubed (1-inch) |
4 cups water |
1/4 cup lemon, sections (about 1 large lemon) |
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed |
3 tablespoons .maple syrup |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1 dash salt |
Directions:
1. You'll need to peel and section a lemon for this dish, Take care to use only the flesh by removing the skin-like, white membrane from each section. 2. Combine first 3 ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 20 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove sweet potatoes from pan with a slotted spoon, reserving cooking liquid. Bringing cooking liquid to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/3 cup (about 12 minutes). Stir in sugar and remaining ingredients. Stir in sweet potatoes; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. |
