SWEET POTATOES WITH RUM



Sweet Potatoes with Rum image

This side dish is decadent with the addition of the rum, but not as sweet as those that use marshmallows. If you substitute the orange juice, add some freshly grated orange zest too, for a real flavour punch.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 medium sweet potatoes
4 tablespoons margarine or 4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum (substitute freshly-squeezed orange juice if you wish; it will taste different though)

Steps:

  • Boil the whole, unpeeled, sweet potatoes until tender but not too soft-- it will take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the thickness of your potatoes.
  • Drain and, when cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
  • Arrange the slices in an attractive overlapping pattern in a buttered shallow baking dish.
  • Dot with butter pieces, then sprinkle with brown sugar and raisins, if using.
  • Drizzle the rum over all.
  • Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, until bubbly and glazed, about 30 minutes.

RUM SWEET POTATO PIE



Rum Sweet Potato Pie image

"This is a rendition of my grandmother's world-famous pie - although she didn't have booze in hers!" says Eddie.

Provided by Eddie Jackson

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes (3 medium)
1 piece refrigerated pie dough (or 1 disk homemade dough; see page 122)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup dark rum
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
Pinch of kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 cup canned coconut milk
1 cup cold heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel off the skins and puree the flesh in a food processor until smooth. (You?ll need 2 cups sweet potato puree.)
  • Gently roll out the pie dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 91/2-inch deep-dish pie dish; fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges. Line the crust with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until the crust is just golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and beans and continue to bake until the crust is golden on the bottom, about 15 more minutes. Let cool.
  • Combine the sweet potato puree, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, melted butter, 3 tablespoons rum, the vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until combined. Add the coconut milk and continue to mix. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake until the filling is set, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes. (Cover the crust with foil if it gets too dark.) Place the pie on a rack and let cool, about 2 hours.
  • Pour the heavy cream into a bowl and beat with the mixer until thickened. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, the remaining 1 tablespoon rum and the orange zest. Whip until stiff peaks form. Serve the pie topped with the whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid any that are soft, have bruises, or have signs of sprouting.
  • Prepare the sweet potatoes properly: Scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Then, pierce them with a fork several times to allow the steam to escape during cooking.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the sweet potatoes. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork into the center of a sweet potato. If it goes in easily, the sweet potato is done.
  • Add the rum and spices: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, add the rum, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir to combine and cook for a few minutes more, or until the sweet potatoes are heated through.
  • Serve and enjoy: Serve the sweet potatoes hot with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

Conclusion:

Sweet potatoes with rum is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet potatoes are soft and flavorful, and the rum and spices add a touch of warmth and sophistication. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
