SWEET POTATOES
This is a good low fat
recipe. It can be made up
to 2 days ahead of time.
3/4 pound dried apricots
1 (9 ounce) can apricot
nectar
3/4 cup water
3 pounds sweet potatoes
or yams
3/8 cup light Brown sugar,
packed
4 tablespoons butter or
margarine, melted
1-1/2 tablespoons orange
juice
1 tablespoon grated
orange rind
1/2 cup pecan halves
Place apricots in a medium
saucepan and cover with
apricot nectar and water.
Let stand 1 hour for fruit to
soften. Place over
moderate heat and
simmer, uncovered, until
apricots are very tender,
about 40 minutes. Cool
and drain well, reserving
the liquid.
Scrub sweet potatoes or
yams. Place on baking
sheet and bake at 400
degrees F for 30 to 40
minutes, or until tender
when pierced with a fork.
Cool; peel and cut into
lengthwise slices about
1/4-inch thick. Lightly
grease an 11 x 7-inch
shallow baking dish.
Arrange a layer of sweet
potatoes or yams in the
dish. Cover with a layer of
apricots. Repeat,
alternating layers of
potatoes and apricots.
Sprinkle top with brown
sugar.
In a small bowl, mix 1/2
cup reserved apricot liquid
with melted butter or
margarine, orange juice
and orange rind. Pour
mixture over the layers.
May be covered and
refrigerated for 2 days.
Before baking, bring to
room temperature.
Bake uncovered at 375
degrees F for 40 minutes,
basting occasionally with
liquid in bottom of dish.
Remove from oven and

minutes. Let stand 10
minutes before cutting.
Makes 12 to 14 servings.
