| Post subject: | Sweet Potato Dilemma |
Hi everyone. I'm looking for some ideas for T-day sweet potatoes. I usually make the butter/brown sugar filled rendition, and while everyone loves it, I'd like something a little healthier. Any ideas for something less fatty and sugary? Thanks much. |

This one is certainly less fatty. The original recipe call for Amaretto in place of the maple syrup. Also, if you like a little browning on your sweet potatoes, you can remove the foil 15-20 minutes early. Spiced Sweet Potato-Apricot Casserole My own variation based on a recipe from Southern Living. ½ cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped ¼ cup raisins ½ cup water ¼ cup brown sugar, firmly packed ¼ teaspoon ground ginger ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ cup grade B maple syrup 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced 1. Combine apricots and raisins in a small saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 30 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ cup cooking water, set aside. 2. Combine reserved water, brown sugar, ginger, and cinnamon in a saucepan, stirring well; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes, set aside. 3. Arrange one-third of potatoes in bottom of a lightly buttered baking dish, overlapping edges; top with half of the fruit mixture. Repeat layers, ending with potatoes; drizzle with brown sugar mixture. 4. Bake, covered, at 350° for 1½ hours or until potatoes are tender. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes before serving. Servings: 10 |

Becca, I think I may try that one this year because I also need some variety. I have made this recipe from epicurious in the past with good results: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/ ... cans-14465 Mary |
