Sweet
Potato
4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and halved
Salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Boil the potatoes in salted water until not quite tender, about 15 minutes.
Prepare the sauce by melting the sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. In
a short time the sugar will begin to turn to a light golden brown. Stir to
prevent burning. When light brown syrup is formed, immediately add the corn
syrup, followed by the water. Blend thoroughly. Allow to cool for just a moment
and then stir in the pecans, butter, salt and vanilla extract. Place the
potatoes in a greased baking dish. Pour some of the sauce over the potatoes and
bake at 375 degrees F for about 20 minutes.
Get off it, over it and on
with it. It's time to live your life.
