Below is my standard holiday recipe for sweet potatoes. I screwed up and it was great. The phone rang, and I had just added the brown sugar to the butter, and not even stirred it in and no OJ. When I got off the phone it smelled a litte burnt, and had reached the softball stage. Oh well I thought, not wanting to waste the real butter, taters and brown sugar, so I poured it over the taters, then I squeezed the orange over the taters. The butter and brown sugar candied immediately, and the taters were floating in the OJ. It didn't taste burnt. Before dinner, I popped the taters in a 400º oven for about 25 or 30 minutes. The candy melted again, and melded with the oj without stirring. My man says only make it that way from now on. It was very very tasty!
