My father’s mother made this every year for our Thanksgiving dinner. It is not Thanksgiving to me without this dish. I do not like the tartness of most cranberry dishes, and sweet potatoes can be bland by themselves. This dish combines both to make a great all-in-one dish. When I take this dish to another person’s home, I bake the first time and add the yams, cover, and then wait to heat until I am at their house.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package whole cranberries
- 1 small unpeeled orange, sliced
- 1 1/3 cups white sugar
- ½ cup pecan pieces
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground mace
- 1 (40 ounce) can cut yams, drained
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine cranberries, orange slices, sugar, pecans, orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mace in a 2-quart baking dish.
Step 3
Bake in preheated oven until cranberries soften, about 30 minutes. Stir yams into cranberry mixture and continue baking until heated through, about 15 minutes more.
Cook’s Notes:
The orange peel should be left on. In addition to slicing the orange, I also cut the slices into wedges. It helps the peels to soften more and makes for a better size for a bite.
