Marmalade and Ginger Glazed Sweet Potatoes


I am having fun using whatever catches my eye.  I see many recipes, during the week that I want to make and when I shop, I buy ingredients that I know is needed.  This is kind of random  because I am not always clear on which ones belong together in the same recipe.  This is part of the fun and the challenge.


When I opened the refrigerator two vegetables jumped out at me, sweet potatoes and parsnips.  What came to mind was this recipe and another with mashed potatoes and parsnips.  I tracked both down and made them.  This one is from Sunset magazine.  I added some pistachios and dried apricots.

  1. I'm pinning this one for Thanksgiving. I love the idea of the marmalade with the sweet potatoes. With the pistachios it seems a little exotic!
