Our stove top sweet potatoes recipe is an delicious easy vegetable side dish.

The orange juice and brown sugar add to the wonderful sweetness of this vegetable.

Cinnamon and allspice round it out.

Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
1/2 teaspoon orange peel, finely shredded
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

Directions:
Cut the potatoes into large slices then cut the slices in half. Bring 1 inch of water to boiling in a large skillet. Add sweet potatoes and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain well.

Meanwhile, for the sauce, in a small bowl combine orange peel, orange juice, molasses or brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and allspice. Pour over the cooked potatoes in the skillet. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until potatoes are glazed, spooning sauce over the potatoes occasionally.

Makes 4 servings.

• Substitute molasses for the brown sugar for an even deeper, richer flavor.
