Candied Sweet Potatoes
6 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons butter
Scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly. Drop them in enough boiling
salted water to cover sweet potatoes. Cover pan. Lower heat
and cook 15 to 20 minutes. Drain; peel sweet potatoes and
cut into 1/2 inch slices. Put into buttered baking dish.
Combine sugar, water and butter. Boil 2-3 minutes, then pour
over cooked, sliced sweet potatoes.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 30 minutes or until lightly
brown. Spoon syrup over sweet potatoes several times while
baking. Lemon juice or lemon slices on top of sweet potatoes
while baking will improve flavor and help retain their
bright color. Yield: 6 servings
