Candied Sweet Potatoes

2 cups white sugar
2 cups water

Place sweet potatoes, unpeeled into a large saucepan. Cover with water and boil until partially cooked.(should still feel a little firm to the touch) DO NOT OVER COOK!! Rinse in cold water, peel and quarter. Return to sauce pan with remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil and then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook slowly for 20-30 minutes more until tender and syrup has thickened. Watch carefully to keep from burning; sauce should be a clear glaze. NOTE: For a great added touch, add a sliced, unpeeled orange to the saucepan before cooking.. Serves 6-8
