Ingredients

  • 6 large sweet potatoes (about 4-1/2 pounds)
  • 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 cup dried cranberries

Method

  • Scrub and pierce sweet potatoes. Bake at 400° for 45-50 minutes or just until tender. Reduce heat to 350°. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/2-in. slices. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
  • Drain pineapple, reserving juices. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and brown sugar. Gradually stir in orange juice and reserved pineapple juice. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the pineapple, oranges and cranberries; heat through.
  • Pour sauce over sweet potatoes. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly.
