Viewed: 38 - Published at: 8 years agoIngredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mccormick jamaican jerk spice
Method
- Cook sweet potatoes in boiling, salted water until just tender.
- Drain well and set aside.
- Heat oil in large skillet.
- Add red bell pepper and onion and mix well.
- Allow vegetables to carmelize in pan, but do not burn.
- This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add sweet potatoes back to the pan.
- Combine sugar, juices and seasonings in a small bowl.
- Pour juice mixture over vegetables in pan and toss gently to coat.
- Cook over medium heat until liquid reduces and is syrupy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- I don't use the Mccormicks seasoning, just because I have always used Wild Oats Caribbean Seasoning.
- If you have a favorite brand, use it.
- Just stay away from the ones with sugar as an ingredient.
- This freezes very well and I always make 3 or 4 batches at once in my dutch oven.
