How to cook deliciously - Glazed Sweet Potatoes
1. Stage
If using fresh sweet potatoes, place whole sweet potatoes in a large pot or Dutch oven, and cover with water. Bring the sweet potatoes to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and cook for 25 to 40 minutes or until tender. Drain the sweet potatoes, and let them cool slightly. Peel the sweet potatoes, and cut them into chunks. Editor's Tip: If using canned sweet potatoes, open and drain them, and move right to Step 2.
2. Stage
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place sweet potatoes in a 2-quart baking dish. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, maple syrup, brown sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it's bubbling fully, remove from heat, and pour over potatoes. Editor's Tip: I love to add a tiny pinch of salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the saucepan to brighten the glaze.
3. Stage
Bake the sweet potatoes, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes or until they're heated through. Editor's Tip: Your glazed sweet potatoes should have a thickened, bubbly glaze when they're done cooking.
