Talk about scrumptious! There aren't enough m's in "Mmm" to describe this autumn favorite! (Although with so much of today's produce available almost year-round, it fits in any season.)
What You'll Need
- 4 sweet potatoes, peeled, cooked, and mashed
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter, divided
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 1 (16-ounce) can pear halves, syrup reserved
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 1-1/2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- In the prepared baking dish, combine the potatoes, 3 tablespoons melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a medium saucepan, blend the honey, the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, orange peel, and 3 tablespoons of the reserved pear syrup; bring to a boil. Arrange the pear halves over the potato mixture, then pour the honey mixture over.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden.
