Maple Sweet Potatoes

Here is a quick and easy side dish.

Maple Sweet Potatoes
from the Fargo, ND stake cookbook

Yield: 4 servings
1/2 c maple syrup
1/4 c butter
1 17 oz can sweet potatoes

Combine syrup and butter in saucepan; bring to a boil and cook until thickened. Add drained sweet potatoes; simmer until hot, basting occasionally with glaze.

This is not a health food.  It was your typical sweet potato casserole-like dish--very sweet.  That doesn't mean I didn't like it, because I did.  So did the husband. The child refused, but she refused her whole dinner because she was too busy being mad at us for buckling her in her high chair.  Will I make this again?  Possibly, probably.  It works up very fast and we sneak an extra vegetable in, even if it is coated with lots of fat and sugar.
