• Glazed Sweet Potatos
  • 3-4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut about an inch thick.
    • Cook in enough water to almost cover them. The secret is to add about ¼ tsp butter before they start boiling to keep them from boiling over. Don’t over boil as they tear apart easily.
    • Place in a long 9x13 Pyrex dish to make.
    • Make the following sauce:
      • 1 cup sugar
      • ½ cup brown sugar
      • 1 T corn starch
      • 1/3 cup butter melted
      • 1 T lemon juice
      • ½ cup water from the sweet potatoes
    • Bring to boil.
    • Pour over sweet potatoes.
    • Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are well glazed.
