New! Blogging at Chef2Chef

A blog (short for web log) is an internet diary or journal where the person posting a blog (Blogger) publishes their thoughts, experiences and opinions. Blogs have become increasingly popular among politicians, educators and writers for alternative news coverage. A blog gives you your own voice on the web.

Become a Blogger! At Chef2Chef, a blog can be your personal diary of kitchen, cooking and culinary experiences. Equipment reviews. Personal relations. A soapbox about your family, workplace and friends. A daily, weekly or monthly pulpit. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world. Whatever you have to say to the culinary world, Chef2Chef can help you say it!

Today's Recipe: Cranberry Orange Sauced Sweet Potatoes

6 servings

Ingredients:

6 medium sweet potatoes or yams
1/4 cup CRISCO all-vegetable shortening or 1/4 CRISCO stick or CRISCO Oil
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup water
1-1/4 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Wash sweet potatoes and pat dry. Prick with a fork, place in a shallow baking dish and bake at 400 degrees F for 40 to 50 minutes or until soft.

During the last 10 minutes of baking, prepare sauce. Melt Crisco in a medium saucepan (or place oil in saucepan). Add brown sugar, salt, orange juice and water, stirring over low heat until sugar dissolves. Add cranberries; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 5 minutes or until cranberries start to pop.

Stir cornstarch mixture into cranberries; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce comes to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened.

Make a lengthwise cut in the center of each potato; press open from bottom. Place sweet potatoes on a serving platter. Top each with cranberry sauce.

Recipe from Crisco.com
