Candied Sweet Potatoes
4 large sweet potatoes
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate (4 ounces)
Wash sweet potatoes, place in large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil and then simmer until potatoes are not quite tender when pierced with a
knife in the center, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain potatoes and cool until easy enough to handle.
Using hands and/or paring knife, remove skin from potatoes. Then cut potatoes in half lengthwise and widthwise to make quarters. Arrange potatoes in single layer in large saucepan or skillet.
Combine water, sugar, marmalade and orange juice concentrate. Pour mixture over potatoes. Bring to a boil and then simmer uncovered for 2 hours over very low heat. Using a large spoon, carefully turn potatoes occasionally to cook evenly and coat with glaze.
