INGREDIENTS

  • 8 sweet potatoes
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons grated orange peel

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place sweet potatoes in a Dutch oven or soup kettle and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until tender. Drain. When potatoes are cool, peel and cut into 1/2-in. slices. Arrange in a greased shallow 3-qt. baking dish; set aside.
