Baked Sweet Potato with Lemon and Maple Syrup

What a wonderful thing that 'Di' sent in her comment re the Olde English Pork and Prune recipe. Some day I shall tell what has taken me so long to get this posted.... :(  .....but now that I'm on a week vacation and feeling a bit more rested from the crazy work I do I am able to share this lucious recipe with you.

BAKED SWEET POTATO WITH LEMON AND MAPLE SYRUP

(A bit different for Christmas)

2 lbs white sweet potato (purple skin) preferably, or orange sweet potato.
3/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbls veg. oil
Mix together

Peel sweet potato quickly, before it oxidises
and cut into 1" rounds or chunks.
Steam until just soft.
Place into baking dish and pour over
mixture, coat well.
Place into a pre-heated oven at your normal baking temperature, turning over at least once.
Bake until most of the juices have been absorbed, or become sticky, about 3/4 hour. Be careful not to burn.
Serve as an accompaniment to a main meat dish, or as a main with a salad.

Bon appetit!
Di
