Cider-Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Cranberries

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch

chunks

1 1/2 cups apple cider or apple juice

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 Tbsp. butter or tub margarine

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. ground allspice

1/2 cup dried unsweetened cranberries

 

 

 

Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 2-inch cubes.

Steam them in a steamer basket or cover them in a pot

with 1/4 cup of water. Steam the potatoes for 10-15

minutes or until the cubes are tender. If desired, you

can also steam them in the microwave. Set the potatoes

aside in a large bowl.

 

Combine the cider, sugar, butter, nutmeg and allspice

in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. Add the

potatoes, reduce the heat so the liquid is simmering

and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 

Add the cranberries and continue cooking until the

liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze and the potatoes

are tender, about 10 minutes. If the glaze becomes

very thick before the potatoes become tender, thin it

with a small amount of cider. When the potatoes are

tender, transfer them to a serving bowl with a slotted

spoon. Pour the remaining glaze over the sweet

potatoes and serve.

 

Makes 6 servings.

Start a New Tradition this Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time for family gatherings, football
