Candied Sweet Potatoes With Spiced Syrup

• 1 Sweet Potato, Peeled And Cut Into 2 Inch Thick Rounds
• 2 cups Water
• 1 whole Piloncillo Cone Or 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 2 whole Star Anise
• 1 whole Clove
• 1 stick Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Whiskey
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt

1. In a pot, combine sweet potatoes, water, piloncillo, star anise, clove, whiskey, and salt. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer and let cook for about 1 hour or until sweet potato is very soft and liquid is reduced and thickened
2. Serve with syrup spooned over the sweet potato.
3. Notes:
4. 1. If liquid is still runny when sweet potatoes are cooked, remove sweet potatoes and continue cooking liquid until it is reduced to more syrup-like consistency.
5. 2. Reserve any unused syrup and use on pancakes and waffles or as a glaze for roasted vegetables. It's absolutely addictive.
