MAPLE-CRANBERRY SWEET POTATOES

Maple-Cranberry Sweet Potatoes image

This came from the November Good Housekeeping magazine. The picture looked absolutely delicious. I am posting for safe keeping. You can prepare and arrange the sweet potatoes and syrup separtely up to 1 day ahead. Refridgerate separately. Allow both to come to room temperature before baking. Select sweet potatoes the same size so they cook evenly.
