Cider-Glazed Sweet Potatoes With Cranberries - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 1/2 cups apple cider or 1 1/2 cups apple juice
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup dried cranberries (quick rough chop)

Preparation

Cook sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until halfway cooked, (a knife inserted into center will face some snap), about 5 minutes. Drain and cool. (You can do this a day in advance and store the cubes in the icebox in a covered container.).
Combine cider, sugar, butter, nutmeg and allspice in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Add potatoes and reduce heat so liquid is simmering.
Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cranberries and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze and potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. (If the glaze becomes very thick before potatoes become tender, thin it with a small amount of cider or a water).
When potatoes are tender, add salt and pepper to taste.
