Sweet Potato Splendor
Take fresh sweet potatoes, wash them and cut them into bite size chunks.
Rub them lightly with olive oil, and spread them in a baking dish.
Put them in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Pull the pan out of the oven, and with a spatula, loosen the sweet potato chunks from the pan, and flip them around.
Pour some apple juice in the pan. Not much, just enough to mostly have a thin layer of it on the bottom of the pan.
Chop up some walnuts, not finely, just enough to not have really big chunks. And not too many, just enough to add a little sumpsumpn to the roasted sweet potatoes.
Also sprinkle in a small amount of salt, and a light amount of either powdered ginger, or if you gots it, chopped candied ginger.
With the spatula, blend all this, and spread it around the pan.
As you are blending, add more apple juice, if necessary, to coat all of it.
Put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes, pulling it out halfway through to flip and check.
Keep baking until the sweet potato is cooked through.
Depending on the amount of liquid, the heat of the oven, the age of the sweet potatoes, and other factors, this will either turn out with a delightful roasted and glazed quality, with every sweet potato jewel and every walnut crumb glazed in rich apple goodness, or it will turn into a mush, also very delicious, or somewhere in between.
Wherever it ends up on the consistency spectrum, it will be delicious and have lots of vitamin A.
If it's mushy, you can eat it in a bowl with a little half and half poured on.
Yum.

I've finally bought the ingredients for this awesome-looking dish, and plan to make it tomorrow.
I'll bring it to a potluck New Years Eve.

Time to revive this thread!
Front-Ranger:
Hi all. I'm planning to bring in a special Halloween dish to work next week. I'd like it to include apricots. Also, one of the people in our office is diabetic and can't have sweets. Anyone have a recipe that would work? I'd be much obliged!
Sason:
Fraid not, Lee.
Apricots are sweet in themselves, so I don't see how that could work out.
Front-Ranger:
A clarification, when I said, "Sweets" I meant sugary items like candy, cake, cookies, etc.
