Pomegranate Sweet Potatoes image

I don't like sweet potatoes, but this is good tasting and almost good for you. I love the convenience of plastic wrapped sweet potatoes that cook in the microwave for 4 minutes. Baking your own would work too.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 sweet potatoes
½ cup pomegranate juice
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup cold butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Wrap the sweet potatoes with plastic wrap, and place into the microwave. Cook on High until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 4 minutes, depending on the microwave. Unwrap the potatoes, and refrigerate until cool enough to handle.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  • Bring the pomegranate juice, water, vinegar, sugar, and cinnamon to a simmer in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut into large cubes; place into the prepared baking dish, and dot with the cubed butter. Pour the pomegranate sauce evenly overtop.
  • Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes until the pomegranate sauce has thickened into a glaze. Gently stir the potatoes occasionally as they bake to coat them in the glaze.
