Time 1h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 large sweet potatoes (3 1/2 pounds)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup apple cider
3 tablespoons butter
1 cinnamon stick
2 whole cloves
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Steps:

  • To cook the sweet potatoes, wash them and prick all over with a fork. Wrap in foil and bake in a 375-degree oven until very tender. This can take anywhere from 50 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending upon the girth of the potato. Thinner ones cook more quickly. Cool. Peel just before using.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a small pot, combine syrup, cider, butter, cinnamon, cloves and orange zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until somewhat thickened, about 15 minutes. Pour syrup over sliced sweet potatoes and bake, uncovered, until bubbling and brown, 25 to 40 minutes.

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE SYRUP



Candied Sweet Potatoes with Maple Syrup image

I created these candied sweet potatoes with maple syrup to entice my young children to eat sweet potatoes. They didn't like them plain and none of us liked recipes using marshmallows, pineapple, etc. This slightly-sweet version fit the bill. The kids are grown-up now, but still request this be served every Thanksgiving.
