Cider-Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Cranberries
Prep Time
35 min prep time
Number of Servings
Serves 6
Ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • [q:1 1/2] cups apple cider or apple juice
  • [q:1/4] cup (packed) golden brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • [q:1/2] tsp nutmeg
  • [q:1/2] tsp ground allspice
  • [q:1/2] cup dried cranberries
  • Salt and pepper
Directions
  1. Cook sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until halfway cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool. (This step can be done 1 day ahead if sweet potatoes are kept covered and refrigerated.)
  2. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, combine cider, sugar, butter, nutmeg, and allspice. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Add potatoes and reduce heat so liquid is simmering. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add cranberries and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze and potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. (If glaze becomes very thick before potatoes become tender, thin with a small amount of cider.) When potatoes are tender, transfer to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon.
  4. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour remaining glaze over potatoes and serve.
