MAPLE GINGER SWEET POTATOES
2 1/2 pounds of sweet potatoes, scrubbed well
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1/3 cup maple syrup (sorghum worked great, too, or maybe 1/3 cup brown sugar)
1/3 cup water
Salt & pepper to taste (don't skip the pepper, creates great contrast to maple syrup)
Toasted almonds (optional but adds to the simple appearance ...)
TO STEAM: Start the water to boil for the steaming. Peel the sweet potatoes and dice into pieces about 3/4". Place in an even layer in a steamer basket, cover and cook for about 10 minutes, until fully cooked. Remove from heat, uncover (so they don't get soggy).
TO BOIL: Place the whole sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover (plus a good inch) with water. Cover and bring water to a boil. Adjust heat to maintain a fast simmer and let cook until a knife can be easily inserted into the center, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Peel and cut into a 3/4" dice.
SAUCE: In a large skillet, melt the butter til shimmery. Add the ginger and let cook for a minute til fragrant. Stir in the maple syrup and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the water and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in the cooked sweet potato and stir well to coat. Season to taste and stir well again. Transfer to a lightly buttered baking dish. Cover with foil.
BAKE: Preheat oven to 375F. Bake for about 45 minutes, stirring after 30 minutes (put foil back). Remove the foil, stir and cook for about 15 minutes until glaze has thickened just a bit. Serve immediately.
