Cider-Glazed Sweet Potatoes With Cranberries

Cider-Glazed Sweet Potatoes With Cranberries


1. Cook sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until halfway cooked, (a knife inserted into center will encounter resistance), about 5 minutes.

2. Drain and cool.

3. (This step can be done 1 day ahead if sweet potatoes are covered and refrigerated.)

4. Combine cider, sugar, butter, nutmeg and allspice in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

5. Bring to a boil, stirring often.

6. Add potatoes and reduce heat so liquid is simmering.

7. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

8. Add cranberries and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze and potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.

9. (If the glaze becomes very thick before potatoes become tender, thin it with a small amount of cider.

10. When potatoes are tender, transfer to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon.

11. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

12. Pour remaining glaze over sweet potatoes and serve.
