How To Make tropical sweet potatoes
-
Step 1Combine sweet potatoes and enough water to cover in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until tender, about 20 minutes; drain. Let stand to cool. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease a 2-quart baking dish. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place in the prepared baking dish. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup juice and the pineapple. Combine reserved pineapple juice, pureed apricots, brown sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, salt and cinnamon in a medium saucepan and mix well. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring continually, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add reserved pineapple, pecans and butter and mix well. Pour over sweet potatoes. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 20 to 25 minutes.
