Candied Sweet Potatoes
2
large sweet potatoes, about 2 lbs, peeled, halve lengthwise and cut
crosswise into 2-inch thick pieces
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tbsp packed light brown sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp reduced-calorie margarine, melted
1/2 tsp table salt
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Place sweet potatoes in a
large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover potatoes. Set pan over high
heat and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes, until
potatoes are fork-tender. Drain potatoes and arrange them in a single layer in
the bottom of a shallow baking dish. Whisk together juice, sugar, syrup,
margarine and salt; pour mixture over sweet potatoes.
Bake
for 30 minutes, then stir to coat potatoes with liquid and bake for 15 more
minutes, until sauce is thick and bubbly. Stir once again before serving.
