CITRUS-GLAZED SWEET POTATOES



Citrus-Glazed Sweet Potatoes image

These candied sweet potatoes work as a side dish for any dinner or holiday celebration by balancing citrusy sweet and savory flavors - and they also produce top-notch leftovers. Right out of the oven or the fridge, they are sure to add a pleasantly tart note to any meal. The braising liquid thickens as the tubers cook, resulting in a tangy glaze that coats every bite. Its acidity also helps the sweet potatoes stay intact with a slight bite even as they soften. The thinly sliced orange zest becomes tender and develops a marmalade-like taste. The shiny strips make for a beautiful garnish, along with the syrupy pan sauce.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium oranges
1 lemon
2 limes
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 9 small)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees (see Tip). Use a vegetable peeler to peel strips of zest off 2 oranges. Cut the strips into thin matchsticks using a sharp knife and transfer to a large bowl. Juice all the oranges, the lemon and limes into the bowl for 1 1/4 cups juice. Whisk in the brown sugar, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper until the sugar dissolves.
  • Generously peel the sweet potatoes, removing the skin and the tougher layer of flesh just beneath. If your sweet potatoes are larger than 2 inches in diameter, halve or quarter lengthwise. Cut into 1-inch-thick rounds or pieces, add to the citrus mixture and toss to coat.
  • Transfer the sweet potatoes and juice mixture to a 9-by-13-inch shallow glass or ceramic baking dish. Dot the top with the butter. Bake, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes to cook and coat evenly, until the sweet potatoes are tender and glazed, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. A paring knife should slide through the potatoes easily and the glaze should be the consistency of syrup.
  • Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The dish can be made ahead and cooled, then wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350-degree oven, covered with foil, or in a microwave, covered with a microwave-safe cover or plastic wrap.

COUNTRY GLAZED SWEET POTATOES



COUNTRY GLAZED SWEET POTATOES image

I created this recipe so I could use some of the VIETNAMESE CINNAMON I had ordered, to go with my Smothered Cabbage with Carrots & Onion Dinner. In my opinion there is a WORLD of difference in the aroma & flavor of this cinnamon when compared to regular. The Vanilla Bean Paste also blends well with the light corn syrup used in...

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2-3 lb sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into large chunks
6 Tbsp butter,softened
1/2 c light brown sugar, or white sugar
2/3 c light corn syrup
1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1/3 c orange juice, apple juice or water
2 tsp vietnamese cinnamon, or regular cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and chunk potatoes into large chunk pieces. Place them in a large pot, cover with water and cook for 10 minutes only. Potatoes should be still firm to touch and not completely cooked through.
  • 2. I used my electric skillet for the recipe this time, but I also love using a cast Iron skillet for it's even temperature cooking. Add in the corn syrup, vanilla Bean Paste, Brown Sugar, VIETNAMESE CINNAMON & soften butter, heat just until butter melts, then stir to blend mixture together.
  • 3. Once butter is melted and mixture begins to slowly simmer, add in the orange juice, apple juice or water, and stir.
  • 4. Now add in the partially cooked potatoes, lower the heat setting to low, and continue to cook slowly.
  • 5. Continue cooking and stir to prevent potatoes from sticking to bottom of skillet, REMEMBER YOU MUST COOK SLOWLY, SO BE PATIENT. Glaze will gradually begin to caramelize and thicken, continue glazing and coating the potatoes, moving in skillet to prevent sticking to the bottom. Should take between 45 minutes to an hour, to peak at the optimum point.
  • 6. Serve while still hot. You will not believe how much flavor these potatoes have.
  • 7. NOTE: Vietnamese Cinnamon is also called Saigon Cinnamon, it has a higher oil content , is sweeter, and much more aromatic, & has a stronger flavor, you will notice the difference in how aromatic it is right away. My next project is Cinnamon Rolls.
