Time 3h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

¼ cup brandy
½ cup raisins
2 tablespoons softened butter
4 (1 pound) sweet potatoes
¼ cup packed brown sugar

Steps:

  • Pour brandy over raisins in a small bowl, cover, and allow to stand for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart baking dish with the softened butter.
  • Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool until cool enough to handle, then peel the potatoes and slice them 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the potato slices in the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with sugar and brandy-soaked raisins.
  • Return the sweet potatoes to the oven, and bake 30 to 40 minutes until hot and bubbly.

This dish was a disaster! The sweet potatoes were burnt and the brandy-raisin sauce was too runny.

The sweet potatoes were not cooked all the way through. I had to put them back in the oven for an additional 15 minutes.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the brandy-raisin sauce.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious without them.

This was a delicious dish, but I made a few changes to the recipe. I used white sweet potatoes instead of orange sweet potatoes, and I added a bit of cinnamon to the brandy-raisin sauce.

I've made this dish a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The raisins add a nice sweetness to the dish and the brandy gives it a little kick.
