Candied sweet potatoes
Method
-
Heat an oven to oven 200C/400F/Gas 6.
-
Leaving the skin on, boil the sweet potatoes in a pot for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender.
-
Once cooked and soft to the touch, peel and cut into thick slices. Place in an oven-proof dish and put to one side.
-
To make the candied sauce, place butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and the juice of one orange in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.
-
Pour candied sauce over potatoes and then bake for ten minutes in the preheated oven.
-
Remove from the oven and place marshmallows over top. Return the dish to the oven, until the marshmallows have just melted.
