Sweet Potato Cranberry Bake

My father’s mother made this every year for our Thanksgiving dinner. It is not Thanksgiving to me without this dish. I do not like the tartness of most cranberry dishes, and sweet potatoes can be bland by themselves. This dish combines both to make a great all-in-one dish. When I take this dish to another person’s home, I bake the first time and add the yams, cover, and then wait to heat until I am at their house.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step: 2

Combine cranberries, orange slices, sugar, pecans, orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mace in a 2-quart baking dish.

Step: 3

Bake in preheated oven until cranberries soften, about 30 minutes. Stir yams into cranberry mixture and continue baking until heated through, about 15 minutes more.

The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But often you can made a dish do more often .
