This was another dish I brought to my husband's family Christmas this year. I just tossed all the ingredients into a crockpot and let it cook for about 4 hours. It was really tasty...a wonderful combination of sweet fruits and vegetables!
Maple-Orange Sweet Potatoes and Carrots From Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook
16 oz of carrots, peeled
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2" pieces
1 cup snipped apricots (I snipped into halves and quarters)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/4 cup water
2 T butter, melted
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Lightly coat the inside of a 4 qt crockpot with cooking spray. Add carrots. Top with sweet potatoes and dried apricots. In a small bowl stir together maple syrup, orange juice concentrate, water, melted butter, salt, white pepper, and cinnamon. Pour over potato mixture in cooker. Cover and cook on low heat setting for 8 hours to 9 hours or on high heat setting for 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Serve with a slotted spoon.
