Ingredients

  • tablespoons butter melted
  • 0.3 cup candied ginger finely chopped
  •  cranberry-orange relish rinsed
  • 0.7 cup orange marmalade 
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • pounds sweet potatoes and into (each)
  • 0.5  orange juice 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • oven
  • baking pan
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Peel sweet potatoes and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  2. Cut unpeeled orange in half through stem, then crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, discarding end pieces and seeds.
  3. In a large bowl, mix 1/3 cup marmalade, 1/2 cup brandy (1/3 cup if using yams), butter, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add sweet potatoes and mix to coat. Arrange slices in rows in a single layer, overlapping them slightly, in a shallow 3-quart casserole (such as a 9- by 13-in. baking dish), interspersing the orange slices evenly throughout.
  5. Drizzle any of the remaining brandy mixture over the sweet potatoes. Cover tightly with foil.
  6. Bake in a 325 regular or convection oven (350 if baking with a turkey at that temperature) until sweet potatoes are tender when pierced, 50 to 60 minutes.
  7. In a small bowl, mix remaining 1/3 cup marmalade and 1 tablespoon brandy. Uncover sweet potatoes and brush marmalade mixture evenly over the top. Broil 6 inches from heat until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
  8. Add more salt to taste.
