Citrus Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

6 medium sweet potatoes, peeled

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 cup orange juice concentrate

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional

Directions

Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool. Cut into 1/2-in. slices. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.

In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in orange juice concentrate and lemon peel. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with pecans if desired.

Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until sweet potatoes are heated through and sauce is bubbly. Yield: 12 servings.
