Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1-1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Coat your slow cooker with nonstick spray. (I used my 2-Quart.) Place the orange juice, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and cranberries in the slow cooker and stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on HIGH while you prepare the sweet potatoes.
- Add the potatoes and stir to combine.
- Cover and turn the slow cooker to LOW.
- Cook on LOW, until the sweet potatoes are very soft, 4 to 6 hours.
- Mash the sweet potatoes well. If they seem too dry, stir in a little more orange juice to achieve desired consistency.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve or hold in the slow cooker set to warm for up to one hour.
