Every holiday my mother makes these candied sweet potatoes with orange juice and every holiday someone asks for her recipe. After 53 years, she certainly has perfected it!
Ingredients
- 6 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 whole cloves, or more to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender but not mushy, 18 to 20 minutes. Drain. Peel sweet potatoes and cut in half lengthwise. Discard skins.
Step 2
Combine brown sugar, butter, orange juice, salt, and cloves in a large skillet or electric frying pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until syrupy. Arrange potato halves in the syrup and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove cloves from syrup before serving, if you wish.
Recipe Tip
You can use 1/2 orange juice and 1/2 pineapple juice if you'd like.
