Time 1h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

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.
