Instructions
- Heat ½ cup of the water, orange juice, margarine, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla in a medium saucepan uncovered over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
- In a large stock pot combine the orange glaze with sweet potatoes. Bring to a rapid bowl over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer. Continue simmering for 6 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- In a small bowl, add cornstarch to the reserved water (2 Tbsp) and stir well to combine.
- Add cornstarch mixture to potatoes. Stir quickly. Continue to cook uncovered for 2 minutes or until sauce thickens and glazes the potatoes. Critical Control Point: Heat to 140 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
- Place glazed sweet potatoes in a medium (8” x 8” x 2”) serving dish. Sprinkle cranberries over sweet potatoes. Critical Control Point: Hold at 140 °F or higher until served.
- Serve ½ cup (portion with ½ cup measuring cup or 4 oz spoodle).
