Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes Cranberries With Toasted Pecans Recipes

CROCK POT SWEET POTATOES & CRANBERRIES WITH TOASTED PECANS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, EXCEPT pecans.
• Toast pecans in the oven or dry skillet, set aside. Careful not to burn!
• Cook for 6 - 8 hours, until the yams are tender. I stir to combine every hour or so.
• About 1-2 hours before serving, if the mixture is too wet, prop the lid open a bit with a toothpick to let some of the steam out and thicken up the sauce.
• Put in your favorite serving dish and top with pecans for serving.

SLOW-COOKER SPICED SWEET POTATOES WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stir together the dark brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Stir together the melted butter and vanilla extract in another small bowl.
• Toss the sweet potatoes with the cornstarch in a large mixing bowl. Put 1 layer of the sweet potatoes on the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Drizzle with a third of the butter mixture then sprinkle with a third of the brown sugar mixture. Repeat to make 2 more layers. (If there are not enough sweet potatoes to make a complete third layer, that is okay.)
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the sweet potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, spread the pecans out on a baking sheet and bake until very golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool and finely chop.
• When the sweet potatoes are tender, gently stir in the orange juice. Transfer the potatoes to a shallow serving dish and allow to sit for 10 minutes (the sauce will thicken as it sits). Toss the potatoes in the sauce to coat, sprinkle with the chopped pecans and serve.
