Once I heard about this, I just had to try it for Thanksgiving!

• Total Time: 2 hrs
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 4 large garnet sweet potatoes, pricked all over with a fork (about 12-14 oz. each)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup Bourbon
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes on a large foil-lined baking sheet and bake until fork-tender, about 1 hour. When cool to the touch, peel and quarter the potatoes. (Can be covered and refrigerated overnight.).

Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat, reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered and stirring frequently, until potatoes are soft and thick, about 30 minutes. Stir in pepper sauce and nutmeg; adjust seasonings and serve.
