Sweet Potato Cranberry Bake

Sweet Potato Cranberry Bake

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.
