Mama'S Candied Sweet Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 sweet potatoes
6 tablespoons butter
8 ounces orange juice
1 cup Karo syrup
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 orange, sliced

Preparation

Boil sweet potatoes for 30 minutes. Let potatoes cool and then peel. Cut into quarters.
Place in a large saucepan and add butter, orange juice, syrup and sugar.
On top of stove cook at low heat for about 1 3/4 hours to glaze potatoes. Tilt saucepan often to coat all potatoes. Place oranges slices in pot 30 minutes before serving. (She never used a crock pot, but I bet it would work as well.) Freezes well -- just reheat and serve.
