Hi Shaun,
I'm back from the country, the land of no wifi and cell service, and saw your query. This recipe my mom found somewhere, she didn't even remember making it, but I remember how delicious it was. We ended up making it without the spice as we couldn't find it in the cupboard in the end... And I think she used pecans as we couldn't find the walnuts. But everything else with dinner went swimmingly!
Hope you make these sometime, they're really good with chicken and pork.
Spiced Baked Sweet Potatoes with Walnuts
6 T unsalted butter (Sub - Smart Balance buttery Spread w/no Trans fatty Acids)
3 lbs sweet potatoes - peeled, sliced 1/2" thick
2.5 t garam masala (I bought some)
1t salt
1/4 c dark brown sugar
2T corn syrup
1/4 c chopped walnuts
Method: Coat 10" pie plate w/1T spread. Toss sweet potatoes, 3 T spread(Melted) 1 1/2t garam masala & salt in a large bowl. Layer this in the prepared pie pan, cover with foil, bake 20 min. Uncover and bake until tender (~20 more min). Make topping: Combine 2 T spread, corn syrup, sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon garam masala in a small saucepan and cook over med high heat until sugar melts. Pour over potatoes, top with walnuts and serve warm.
