We love sweet potatoes. Well, yams actually. They’re full of vitamin A, beta-caroltene, vitamin C, and lots of other good-for-you things! It helps that Emma has adored them since she started eating solid food. This recipe adds a delicious sweet glaze that also makes the house smell wonderful while they cook.
Apple Cinnamon Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
3 sweet potatoes*
3/4 c. apple jelly (or 1/4 c. per potato used)
3/8 tsp. salt (or 1/8 tsp. per potato used)
3/8 tsp. cinnamon (or 1/8 tsp. per potato used)
3 T. butter (or 1 T. per potato used)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Peel sweet potatoes (yams) and cut them into 1 inch cubes.
3. Arrange the cubes on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (Trust me on the parchment!)
4. In a saucepan, combine the glaze ingredients.
5. Heat over low until smooth, stirring occasionally.
6. Brush the potato cubes with 1/2 of the glaze mixture.
7. Bake for 20 minutes.

No kidding, I have 3 sweet potatoes that I need to use up. This looks like a good recipe to try! I just have to get the apple jelly. I love sweet potatoes and I always like trying out new recipes for them.
These look absolutely wonderful! I happen to have jars and jars of apple jelly in my pantry that I put up last year. Now I have the perfect use for them. going to make these for dinner tomorrow!
Perfect timing, Bekki! I hope you enjoy them. 🙂
