Fruit And Nut Sweet Potato Fusion

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 3 tablespoons butter, cut into chunks (substitute cashew butter for a vegan alternative)
• 4 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 -4 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 cup almonds, sliced
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped (into halves or thirds)

Recipe

• 1 steam the sweet potato cubes over medium heat about 25 minutes (time is given from the moment the stove is turned on until the sweet potatoes are done).
• 2 place the sweet potatoes and butter in a medium bowl and mash with an electric mixer on low speed (the heat from the sweet potatoes should melt the butter). add the rest of the ingredients and combine.
• 3 notes: the orange juice adds quite a bit of sweetness to this dish. you may wish to add the brown sugar slowly, tasting as you go, to avoid over-sweetening.
