Caribbean-Style Grilled Sweet Potatoes With Spicy Dark Rum and Raisin Glaze

[Guest guest]

I have a square grill thing that locks large potato slices inside

so you can grill them.  This is really good and spicy.  You can find jerk

seasoning

in the spice isle or they even have it in a jar by the marinades sometimes.

Caribbean-Style Grilled Sweet Potatoes With Spicy Dark Rum and Raisin Glaze

 

4 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/2-inch thick

2 teaspoons Caribbean jerk seasoning

 

Glaze:

1/4 cup molasses

1/4 cup dark rum

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon Caribbean jerk seasoning

3/4 cup raisins

2 tablespoons butter, softened

 

Preheat grill to medium-low heat.

Spray medium mixing bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Place sliced sweet

potatoes in bowl and add jerk seasoning; toss well to coat.

Place on grill and let cook over low heat, turning after potatoes start to brown

To prepare glaze, combine molasses, rum, brown sugar and jerk seasoning in small

saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat and let simmer 5 minutes. Add raisins,

lower heat and simmer on lowest setting 5 minutes more. Remove saucepan from

heat, add butter and mix well.
