Time 2h40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 large sweet potatoes (approx. 5 lbs)
3/4 cup butter
1/3 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons candied ginger (minced)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup dark rum (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Bake potatoes on a cookie sheet until soft (approx. 1.5 hrs).
  • When cool enough to handle, peel and chunk potatoes into a large bowl.
  • Add butter and other ingredients and toss to mix.
  • Mash potatoes thoroughly or puree in a blender. A hand mixer works well also.
  • Lower oven temperature to 350F.
  • Turn mashed potatoes into a casserole dish and dot the top with a bit of additional butter.
  • Bake 30-40 minutes until hot.
  • NOTE: This can be made ahead of time. Bring the mashed potato mixture to room temperature before dotting with butter and baking until hot.
