An old recipe from my long gone mother-in-law that she made every Thanksgiving that melts in your mouth. I still make it & I'm so glad I got the recipe from her.
Ingredients
- 4-6
- fresh sweet potatoes and yam combination
- 1 c
- light brown sugar
- 1 c
- white granulated sugar
- 3 tsp
- (heaping) butter
- 1/2 c
- orange juice or pineapple juice or lemon juice
How to Make Glazed Sweet Potatoes
- 1Boil potatoes and yams until done but not over-cooked. They need to be firm, not mushy. Let them cool until able to peel off skins easily. Slice the potatoes length-wise and lay them in a 9x13 baking dish in a single layer.
- 2Make a syrup with the rest of the ingredients by boiling for just a few minutes and pour over the sweet potatoes. Put in 400 degree oven and baste every few minutes.
- 3This needs to cook slowly until bubbly before serving. Length of time depends on how hot the potatoes are & how many.
But this is worth the time it takes to bake!
