Cranberry, Apple, and Sweet Potato Packet

Lorraine of AZ's Note:

This is a great vegetable combination to accompany your fall and winter meals. It is baked in a foil packet which cuts down on the clean-up. The packet may be baked or grilled depending on the rest of your meal. When you open the packet, the burst of aroma you get will sweep you off your feet! Note that vegetables are grilled in a single packet; but when meat is involved, single serving packets are made. Recipe is from Reynolds. You will use 1 sheet (18 X24 inches) of Reynolds Wrap Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil.

Great flavor combination! Doubled the recipe and cooked it in a large roasting pan on the bbq. We had a lot of people at our campout dinner and everyone loved it. The kids especially.

These were easy to prepare with a sweet aroma when packet's opened.Prepared it for a few minutes and just waited for it to bake in the oven. It's sweet, healthy and great for camping too!
