Coriander Scented Sweet Potatoes Glazed with Molasses

Ingredients:

4-5 large sweet potatoes or yams peeled and cut into eight pieces
1/2 C light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground coriander3/4 C molasses
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 C cream


Method:

   Place in pot on stove top and bring to a boil.  Cook potatoes until tender (20-25 minutes after pot has come to temp.).  In a sauce pan, combine remaining ingredients (save back 1/4 C molasses to drizzle over top at the end) and place on low heat.  Heat until the mixture is thoroughly combined and heated through.

  Strain cooked sweet potatoes and place in large mixing bowl.  Pour the molasses mixture over the sweet potatoes and gently stir or toss until the potatoes are coated. 

  Place the sweet potatoes in a baking dish and bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are bubbling and slightly glazed/browned. Remove from oven and keep warm until service, at which time, drizzle remaining molasses over the dish.
