Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of Mazola® Corn Oil
  • A generous ¾ cup of zesty orange marmalade
  • A delightful ¾ cup of pure apple juice
  • A comforting ½ cup of rich brown sugar
  • Approximately ⅓ cup of plump raisins
  • A flavorful tablespoon of Spice Islands® Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • A hint of Spice Islands® Curry Powder, about 1 teaspoon
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1-inch chunks
  • A burst of 12 ounces of fresh cranberries

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Take a moment to give a light spritz of cooking spray to your trusty 15 x 10-inch baking pan. Now, in a spacious bowl, blend together a delightful medley of oil, tangy marmalade, sweet apple juice, rich brown sugar, plump raisins, aromatic pumpkin pie spice, and a hint of exotic curry powder. Toss in the star ingredients - sweet potatoes, juicy cranberries, and crunchy pecans - and ensure they are thoroughly coated in this flavorful concoction. Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan with care.

Step 2

Allow the oven to work its magic for about 50 to 60 minutes, remembering to give the pan a gentle stir every now and then, until the sweet potatoes and cranberries reach a delightful tenderness. Once ready, elegantly transfer the dish into a welcoming serving bowl. This delectable creation is best enjoyed straight away, savoring each mouthful of the harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
