Maple Candied Sweet Potatoes

A great side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

6 Sweet Potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 cup white cranberry juice
2/3 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp butter

In large pot, cover potatoes with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes or until almost tender. Drain in large colander, let cool enough to handle. Slice each piece in half and place in greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

In small saucepan combine cranberry juice, maple syrup and butter; bring to a boil. Pour over potatoes; bake in 325 F oven for 1 1/2 hours turning and basting occasionally.
