SWEET POTATOES WITH CRANBERRIES



Sweet Potatoes With Cranberries image

I do not remember where I got this recipe, but I wanted a sweet potato dish that did not use a lot of sugar as the normal recipes.

Provided by Coppercloud

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h50m

Yield 7-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lbs small sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons Bourbon or 2 tablespoons vanilla
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 cup water
3/4 cup cranberries
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a large, shallow oven safe dish. Arrange the sweet potatoes overlapping the slices slightly. Pour 1/2 cup of the water over the sweet potatoes. Cover with foil and bake for about 40 minutes, or until just tender.
  • Mix the melted butter with the bourbon or Vannila. Spoon the mixture over the sweet potatoes. Increase the oven temperature to 425°. Season with salt and black pepper and bake in the upper third of the oven for about 25 minutes, basting halfway through cooking, until the bourbon mixture is almost completely absorbed.
  • In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, the remaining 1/2 cup of water and the brown sugar and med-heat until the cranberries start to burst, about 10 minutes. Drain the cranberries, keep the liquid.
  • Stir the cayenne and cinnamon into the cranberry liquid and spoon it over the sweet potatoes. Bake in the upper third of the oven, basting well after 5 minutes, for 20 minutes longer, until the potatoes are glazed and most of the liquid is gone. During the last 5 minutes of baking, scatter the cranberries on top. Serve.
  • These can be made a head of time, then warmed before serving.

Provided by Blue Buddha

Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
1 cup Grade A maple syrup
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
1 ½ cups fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or to taste
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
8 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place whole sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat maple syrup and brown sugar in a small saucepan to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by just about half. Add cranberries and return to a boil. Cook until berries are popping open. Add butter and dried thyme; remove from the heat.
  • Slice cooled sweet potatoes into 1-inch rounds. Transfer to an 8x12-inch glass baking dish and arrange so potatoes are standing nearly on their sides and stacked like fallen dominoes. Stir hot syrup mixture, then pour it over the sweet potatoes, dispersing the cranberries as evenly as possible.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until berries on top begin to caramelize, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish each serving with a sprig of thyme.
