BROWN SUGAR-GLAZED SWEET POTATOES

2 1/4 lbs sweet potatoes (about 4 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inc pieces

2 tbsp butter

2/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice

1/2 cup finely chopped peeled apple

1/4 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Place potatoes in a large saucepan or stock pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and cook, uncovered, 5 minutes or until tender. Drain.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, apple juice, apple and raisins. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

Transfer potatoes to a greased 8-inch square baking dish. Top potatoes with the apple mixture. Bake, uncovered, 23-30 minutes or until bubbly. While baking, baste occasionally with the sauce.
