4-5 pounds Sweet Potatoes peeled (about 5 large)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) margarine
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup Whiskey or Bourbon such as Jack Daniels
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut the Sweet Potatoes into 1/2 inch slices.
Steam the Sweet Potatoes for 10 minutes or until soft but not mushy.
Remove potatoes from the steamer and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the margarine over medium heat.
Then add the brown sugar, vanilla and salt.
Stir continuously until the sugar is dissolved.
Stir in the Whiskey or Bourbon and cook for 5 -10 minutes or until slightly
thickened, stirring occasionally.
