Candied Ginger Sweet Potatoes With Dried Cranberries

You may get confused when eating this yummy side. Yes! It is a side not a dessert. The flavor of this is so yummy. You have the sweetness from the potatoes, brown sugar, dried cranberries and juice. Yet tanginess from the cranberries & juice. And a nice bite and sweetness from the Ginger. Real Comfort food!This recipe uses my optional Recipe #66040 or your choice and Recipe #102933 or store bought. Enjoy!

This was the hit of the Thanksgiving table. I had 2 people who don't eat sweet potatoes and they devoured this. I doubled the recipe and made my own candied ginger by peeling and slicing ginger, simmered it in a heavy sugar/water mixture until tender and then tossed with sugar. I then diced it and added it to the recipe. It was a very nice contrast with the cranberries. The whole dish had a jewel like look to it. Thank you.Reply
