HONEYED SWEET POTATOES.
These sound a little healthier than those covered in marshmallows, but still have a sweet taste...11/02/13-I diced these and made as directed; they cooked a little faster so I took them out about 8 minutes earlier than what the recipe stated.

Steps:
- Place sweet potatoes in a Dutch oven or large saucepan with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer about 15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are nearly tender when pierced with a fork. Drain. Transfer potatoes to a greased 2-quart square baking dish.
- Mix brown sugar, honey, margarine or butter, and ginger in a heavy small saucepan. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Boil gently for 3 minutes. Pour over potatoes.
- Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender, basting occasionally with sauce.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Cook sweet potatoes as directed. Cover and refrigerate potatoes up to 24 hours. To reheat, prepare glaze as above; pour over potatoes. Cover with foil and bake in a 350 degree F oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil; bake about 20 minutes more or until tender, basting occasionally with sauce.

Tips:
- Select the right sweet potatoes: Choose firm, evenly-shaped sweet potatoes that are free of blemishes and bruises. For this recipe, medium-sized sweet potatoes work best, as they cook evenly and have a tender texture.
- Use good quality honey: Opt for raw, unfiltered honey for its rich flavor and natural sweetness. Avoid processed or blended honey, as they may have added sugars and lack the same depth of flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to leave enough space between the sweet potato wedges on the baking sheet to allow for even cooking and browning. Overcrowding will result in steamed rather than roasted potatoes.
- Roast until tender: Use a fork to check the tenderness of the sweet potatoes. They are done when they are easily pierced through and have a slightly caramelized exterior.
- Add the honey glaze at the end: Drizzle the honey glaze over the roasted sweet potatoes just before serving. This will prevent the glaze from burning and ensure that it coats the potatoes evenly.

This delightful recipe for honeyed sweet potatoes offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
