Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large sweet potatoes
1 (8 ounces) can pineapple tidbits
1 (8 1/2 ounces) can apricots, pureed
1/2 c firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp grated orange zest
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 c chopped pecans
2 Tbsp butter, softened

Steps:

  • 1. Combine sweet potatoes and enough water to cover in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until tender, about 20 minutes; drain. Let stand to cool. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease a 2-quart baking dish. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place in the prepared baking dish. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup juice and the pineapple.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sweet potatoes turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

These sweet potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar.
