How to make?
Ingredients
3 pounds garnet or ruby sweet potatoes , peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
Salt
2 cups orange juice
1-1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 Tbsp butter
Directions
Place the cut sweet potatoes in a pot and cover with a couple inches of cold water. Bring to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt.
Boil the sweet potatoes for 5-10 minutes, or until you can just pierce them with the tines of a fork, but not fully cooked . Drain and set aside.
Mix the remaining ingredients in a shallow, wide sauté pan and bring to a boil on high heat.
Add the sweet potatoes and coat well with the sauce. Boil on high heat until the sauce reduces to a syrup, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
