APRICOT SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Apricot Sweet Potato Casserole image

This recipe came from a neighbor when I requested recipies for a cookbook our local history group was getting together. It has been a favorite of my family and many others that read it in our self published cookbook " The Main Menu of Memories". If you use fresh potatoes, they should be cooked first to al dente stage.

The combination of these ingredients makes for a sweet and savory dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. This article will delve into the ingredients, benefits, and preparation methods of apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes.

Ingredients

Apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes are typically made with fresh or canned apricot halves, fresh or canned pineapple chunks, and fresh or canned sweet potatoes. Other ingredients that may be included in the recipe are butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts. Depending on the recipe, some variations may include additional fruits such as cherries or mandarin oranges.

Benefits

One of the main benefits of apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes is the nutritional value of the ingredients. Apricots are high in fiber, vitamin A, and potassium.

They are also a good source of fiber and potassium. The combination of these ingredients makes for a healthy and satisfying meal.

Preparation

To prepare an apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, mix together melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside. Drain the canned apricot halves and pineapple chunks and reserve the juice. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into rounds. Layer the sweet potato rounds in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the reserved juice from the canned fruit over the sweet potatoes. Then, pour the melted butter and brown sugar mixture on top of the sweet potatoes. Add a layer of canned apricot halves and pineapple chunks on top of the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top, if desired. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Variations
One variation of the apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipe is to add sliced or chopped onions to the dish. The onions add a savory flavor to the dish and complement the sweetness of the fruit and sweet potatoes. Another variation is to sprinkle shredded coconut on top of the dish before baking. The coconut adds a tropical flavor and texture to the dish.
Serving Suggestions
Apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes can be served as a side dish or a main course. They pair well with roasted chicken, pork loin, or beef roast. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick and easy meal. For a complete meal, serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a salad.

The sweetness of dried apricots and pineapples combine perfectly with the savory taste of sweet potato, making it a flavorful and filling dish. However, making this dish requires some knowledge and tips to ensure that it turns out perfect. Here are some valuable tips you should know when making apricot pineapple and sweet potato recipes.

Selecting the Best Sweet Potatoes

When making apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes, sweet potatoes are the key ingredient. Therefore, choosing good sweet potatoes is crucial to ensure that the dish is tasty and appetizing. Here are some tips to consider when selecting sweet potatoes:
Check the color:
The color of sweet potatoes indicates their state of ripeness. A good sweet potato should have a vibrant orange color that is uniform throughout the potato. Avoid potatoes with discolored or brown spots. This may indicate that the potato is spoiled or overripe.
Check for firmness:
Before buying, check for the firmness of the sweet potato. A good sweet potato should give a little when you squeeze it, but it should be firm to the touch. Avoid buying sweet potatoes that are too soft or have bruises or cuts.
Avoid sprouted potatoes:
Sprouted sweet potatoes may have a bitter taste that could ruin your dish. Therefore, avoid buying potatoes that have sprouts.

Preparing Sweet Potatoes

Preparing sweet potatoes for apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes requires some care to ensure that they cook evenly and are tender. Here are some valuable tips to consider when preparing sweet potatoes:
Pierce the skin:
Sweet potatoes are dense and thick, and piercing the skin with a fork helps the heat penetrate the potato to cook it thoroughly.
Wash the potatoes:
Before cooking, it is essential to wash the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt and debris. Scrub the potatoes under running water with a brush to ensure a thorough cleaning.
Peel the potatoes:
Peeling sweet potatoes is a personal preference that depends on the recipe you are making. You can peel them or leave the skin on, depending on your preference. Leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients to your dish.
Cut the potatoes:
Cut sweet potatoes into uniform size pieces to cook evenly. Small cubes, wedges, or rounds are perfect for apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes.

Ingredients

The quality and selection of ingredients used in apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes are necessary to guarantee the best flavor and texture. The following are some ingredients that you need to prepare when making apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes:
Sweet potatoes:
Use fresh, ripe, and firm sweet potatoes to ensure even cooking and a delicious flavor.
Dried apricots:
Dried apricots are a hearty source of dietary fiber and add a flavorful punch to the dish.
Dried Pineapple rings:
Dried pineapple rings are a perfect complement to the flavor of sweet potatoes and add a tropical twist to the dish.
Butter:
Butter adds richness to the dish and helps to create a golden brown crust on top.
Brown sugar:
Brown sugar enhances the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes while also adding a caramel-like flavor to the dish.
Cinnamon:
Cinnamon complements sweet potatoes, apricots, and pineapples with its sweet, warm flavor.

Cooking

The cooking process is the final step in making apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes. The following are some valuable tips to consider when cooking apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes:
Baking temperature:
Set the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and preheat it for at least 15 minutes. This temperature ensures even cooking, and the dish will cook to perfection.
Butter the baking dish:
Grease the baking dish with butter to ensure that the sweet potato bake does not stick to the dish.
Mix the ingredients:
In a bowl, mix the sweet potatoes, apricots, and pineapples with the sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix well so that each piece is coated with the flavors.
Layer the ingredients:
Arrange the mixture of sweet potatoes, apricots, and pineapples in the greased baking dish. Ensure each layer is even.
Cover the dish:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the covering and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Conclusion

Apricot pineapple and sweet potato bake recipes are delicious and healthy side dishes that everyone will love.
