Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 1/2 cups apple cider or 1 1/2 cups apple juice
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries (quick rough chop)

Recipe

• 1 cook sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until halfway cooked, (a knife inserted into center will face some snap), about 5 minutes. drain and cool. (you can do this a day in advance and store the cubes in the icebox in a covered container.).
• 2 combine cider, sugar, butter, nutmeg and allspice in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. bring to a boil, stirring often. add potatoes and reduce heat so liquid is simmering.
• 3 cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. add cranberries and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze and potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. (if the glaze becomes very thick before potatoes become tender, thin it with a small amount of cider or a water).
• 4 when potatoes are tender, add salt and pepper to taste.
