CANDIED SWEET POTATOES
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoonful butter
- ½ pint (1 cup) molasses
- Salt and pepper
Select yellow sweet potatoes, peel them, and slice them lengthways. Steam with the butter, salt and pepper, and a little water.
When tender drain off the water. Put the potatoes into an earthenware baking dish, pour over the molasses, and bake in a hot oven until the molasses candies over the potatoes.
