    Sweet Potatoes with Cider & Brown Sugar


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    Recipe Introduction


    Since this recipe does not use a lot of sugar, the tartness of the cider comes through. (Natural cider, by the way, fresh and unfiltered, is preferable to pasteurized cider or apple juice.)

    List of Ingredients




    4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
    2 1/2 cups unsweetened apple cider
    1/2 cup dark brown sugar
    1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
    2-inch piece of cinnamon stick

    Recipe



    1. In a large nonreactive saucepan, combine the potatoes, cider, brown sugar, 6 tablespoons of the butter and the cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over moderate heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender, about 45 minutes.

    2. Let cool slightly, remove the cinnamon stick and pass the potatoes through the medium disk of a food mill or puree in batches in a food processor. Transfer to an ovenproof serving dish.

    3. Preheat the oven to 325°. Dot the potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, cover with foil and bake, stirring once or twice, for about 20 minutes, until steaming. Remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes longer.
