Sweet Potatoes
#21
No sugar needed! My go-to sweet potato recipe, besides just baked whole ones, uses just fresh sweet potatoes, apples, butter and vinegar. Ratio: one medium sweet potato, one apple (I like Golden Delicious), 1 tablespoon each butter and vinegar. Peel and thickly slice sweet potatoes, core and slice apples; alternate in rows in baking dish. Drizzle with vinegar, then melted butter. Bake at 350°F, or whatever temp you're using for other dishes, until tender when pierced, about half an hour. No sugar is used, but they end up tasting slightly sweet, and scrumptious. I usually make at least 4 times the combo above, in 9x13 pan, so I have planned-overs.

I guess depending on your church, this recipe might not work. But it's awfully good!

6 large sweet potatoes
1/3 c orange liqueur
1/3 c bourbon
6 T butter
½ c sugar
1 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1/4 t ground ginger
1/8 t ground cloves
1/8 t white pepper
Roast or boil the sweet potatoes until tender, then allow to cool
thoroughly. Peel and cut up coarsely in roughly ½” slices and arrange
in a large casserole dish.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add
remaining ingredients and pour over the sweet potatoes. Cover and
bake at 375º for 45 minutes.

Marshmellows are fine, they are just sugar and gelatin. I roast mine (I don't like the sweetened ones in the can) until done, peel them, cut them up. I use maple syrup, (can use sugar free) cinnamon, brown sugar (Slenda has one too) and butter, I put pineapples on top and then cover with mini marshmellows and bake until brown. Its my family's favorite and so easy to make. You can bake the potatoes ahead of time, you can even make them in the microwave. I don't boil them because they absorb water. You can also add nuts if no ones alergic to them

My mother use to make fried sweet potatoes with sugar to die for. No one else in the family could make them the way she did. I have tried, but they are never like the ones she did. If we had any with the meal then forget dessert, because none needed or wanted.
