Recipe(tried): Candied Sweet Potatoes

Hi Linda, this is a recipe from the West Indies that my family makes. It is quite sweet but very candied and thick. The sauce carmalizes the potatoes and I think that is the thick sauce you were requesting.

Candied Sweet Potatoes

6 medium sweet potatoes
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2 T. water
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

Cool, and peel and cut in half lengthwise.

In an electric fry pan (med. heat) place butter, corn syrup and brown sugar. Stir until well incoporated.

Arrange potatoes on top, flat side down. Cook, uncovered on low heat, basting occassionally, for about 45 minutes or until well glazed.
