Healthier Candied Yams
You will need:
- 3 Sweet Potatoes baked and skinned
- Orange Juice | 2-3 TBS
- 100% REAL maple syrup | 2-3 TBS
- Brown Sugar | 1 TBS
- Dried Cranberries | 2/3 cup
- Cinnamon | 2-3 TBS
- Nutmeg | 1 TBS
- Butter/Butter Substitute | 1 TBS
- Baby Marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Start to puree the sweet potatoes by adding first the butter, then add the brown sugar. Now add the maple syrup and orange juice. Keep stirring adding the liquid ingredients gradually to make sure that everything combines with the sweet potatoes. Add the nutmeg and cinnamon and then stir in the dried cranberries. Taste the mixture and add more of whatever your tongue tells you.
Spray a non-stick cooking spray like PAM on the bottom of a 9"X9" cooking pan (Pyrex works best). Wipe with a paper towel to ensure it's a very small amount. Pour mixture into container.
Cover the top layer with as few or as many marshmallows as you like. Place dish in pre-heated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until marshmallows turn a golden brown. If you do burn the marshmallows (totally happened to me), it's so not a big deal. Simply peal of the top layer of marshmallows and start again, this time, try not to leave it in quite as long. The burned marshmallows actually taste pretty good, but definitely doesn't go along with our healthy theme, so be careful.
Enjoy!
