Cranberry Sweet Potato Cobbler
- 1 12 lbs sweet potatoes (I use garnet yams, thinner ones so they'll cook faster.) or 1 12 lbs yams (I use garnet yams, thinner ones so they'll cook faster.)
- 3 cups cranberries (Fresh or frozen is fine, I use 1 regular-sized package from the grocery store.)
- 23 cup sugar
- 13 cup orange juice
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 1 -2 tablespoon butter
- 1 pie crust, ready to be rolled out
- In a large saucepan, cover sweet potatoes with water and bring to a boil.
- Boil until tender - about 30-45 minutes.
- Drain and cool the sweet potatoes.
- Peel and slice into 1 inch pieces.
- Preheat oven to about 350 degrees.
- Combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice and salt into a bowl and mix together to coat the cranberries.
- Put about a 1/3 of the cranberries in the bottom of an 8x8 glass baking dish.
- Cover in a layer of sweet potatoes and pour a bit of the orange juice liquid over the potatoes.
- Top with a another layer of cranberries and another layer of sweet potatoes.
- Again, pour a little bit of the orange juice mixture over the sweet potatoes.
- Put the rest of the cranberries on top.
- Pour a little more of the orange juice liquid on top, but don't do too much.
- I've found that too much of the liquid tends to overcook the sweet potatoes.
- You'll have about 1/3 to 1/2 of the liquid left in the bowl to be discarded.
- Dot the top with the butter.
- Roll out the pie dough to about 1/4 inch thick - a little thicker than if using as a pie crust.
- Place the crust on the top of the baking dish and seal it to the dish with your fingers.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
