List of Ingredients
3 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2" thick slices
3/4 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. maple extract
2 T. water
3 T. butter, cut into pieces
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt Recipe
In a steamer set over boiling water steam the potatoes, covered, for 10-15 mins., or until they are just tender, and let them cool, uncovered.
Arrange the potato slices in 1 layer, overlapping them slightly, in a buttered 2 qt. shallow baking dish.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, water, maple extract, butter, cinnamon, and the salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring, and cook it over moderate heat for 5 mins.
Drizzle the syrup evenly over the potatoes, and bake the potatoes in the middle of a preheated 350 oven, basting them with the syrup mixture every 15 mins., for 1 1/2 hrs., or until the syrup is thickened, and the sweet potatoes have deepened in color.
The candied sweet potatoes may be made 1 day in advance, kept covered and chilled, and reheated.
