Candied Sweet Potatoes

 

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 " slices

1/4 cup orange marmalade

2 TB honey

1 tsp. grated lemon peel

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. ground white pepper

2 tsp. margarine or butter, cut into small pieces

Parsley sprigs for garnish

 

Preheat oven to 375° F.

 

In a large sauce pan, bring sweet potatoes and enough water to cover to a

boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to medium and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

 

While sweet potatoes are cooking, in a small sauce pan over medium heat,

combine marmalade,

honey, lemon peel, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Bring marmalade

mixture to a boil, stirring

constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.

 

Drain sweet potatoes in a colander. In a large baking dish, arrange potatoes

in a single layer. Pour

marmalade mixture over top; dot with margarine.

 

Bake until sweet potatoes are candied and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Garnish with parsley.

 

Serve immediately.
