I have a dear friend who makes the most delicious red pepper jelly, and I'm so excited to have found this recipe from Sunset to share with her - I hope these are as yummy as they sound :)

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes or 4 1/2 lbs yams
2/3 cup red jalapeno jelly
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
about 3 tablespoons lime juice
salt

Steps:

  • Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks. Divide chunks equally between 2 lightly oiled baking pans (each 10 by 15 in.); cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake in a 450° oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until sweet potatoes are tender when pierced, about 25 minutes longer; switch pan positions halfway through baking.
  • Meanwhile, put jelly in a 2-cup glass measure. Heat in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until softened, about 20 seconds. Add vinegar and stir until well blended.
  • Combine sweet potatoes in 1 pan. Pour jelly mixture evenly over potatoes and turn chunks with a spatula to coat evenly. Continue baking until jelly mixture thickens and sticks to sweet potatoes, about 10 minutes, turning chunks often to prevent scorching.
  • Pour into a wide bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro and add about 3 tablespoons lime juice and salt to taste.
