Stir in the brown sugar and allow to dissolve. Mix in syrup and cook until smooth. Pour the glaze over the yams and sprinkle with nutmeg.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F. In large pot place potatoes with enough water to cover. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat, simmer 10 to 12 minutes or just until potatoes are tender but not soft.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place garlic in a small ramekin, drizzle with 1-tablespoon olive oil, and wrap in foil. Bake until soft, about 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, squeeze garlic flesh from head into a small bowl.
• Arrange tenderloins on work surface. Rub the top each tenderloin with 1/2 of the roasted garlic and season with salt and pepper. Mix together the herbs and scatter half of the mix over the garlic on each tenderloin. Wrap 6 strips of bacon around each tenderloin and tie bacon in place with kitchen twine.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat oil in a medium, skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloins until golden brown on all sides. Transfer seared tenderloins to medium roasting pan; place in the oven and cook to medium doneness about 8 to10 minutes. Transfer tenderloins to cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Remove twine before carving.
• Combine juice, sugar and zest in a small non-reactive pan and reduce to 1/2 cup. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Toss sweet potatoes in oil and roast in a large ovenproof skillet. Roast until lightly golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the pan from the oven and place on a burner over medium heat. Add the glaze to the potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Saute potatoes until all are glazed.

Steps:

• Zest lemon and set aside; squeeze juice from lemon and also set aside (you should have about 4 tablespoons).
• In a small saucepan, simmer 3/4 cup water with sugar and salt, stirring until sugar dissolves; remove from heat and add lemon juice, pepper, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of butter.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a 10 inch circular or 8 x 10 inch casserole pan with butter.
• Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1/8 to 1/2 inch thick slices.
• Arrange potato slices, in overlapping layers, bearing in mind that they will shrink and soften a little when they cook.
• Pour over the lemon syrup, dot with remaining butter, cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Remove foil, turn oven up to 450 degrees F and bake until most of the liquid has evaporated and potatoes begin to brown slightly on top, 10 to 25 minutes.
• Sprinkle with lemon zest and thyme or parsley, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees (see Tip). Use a vegetable peeler to peel strips of zest off 2 oranges. Cut the strips into thin matchsticks using a sharp knife and transfer to a large bowl. Juice all the oranges, the lemon and limes into the bowl for 1 1/4 cups juice. Whisk in the brown sugar, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper until the sugar dissolves.
• Generously peel the sweet potatoes, removing the skin and the tougher layer of flesh just beneath. If your sweet potatoes are larger than 2 inches in diameter, halve or quarter lengthwise. Cut into 1-inch-thick rounds or pieces, add to the citrus mixture and toss to coat.
• Transfer the sweet potatoes and juice mixture to a 9-by-13-inch shallow glass or ceramic baking dish. Dot the top with the butter. Bake, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes to cook and coat evenly, until the sweet potatoes are tender and glazed, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. A paring knife should slide through the potatoes easily and the glaze should be the consistency of syrup.
• Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The dish can be made ahead and cooled, then wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350-degree oven, covered with foil, or in a microwave, covered with a microwave-safe cover or plastic wrap.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pat all the potato cubes thoroughly dry using paper towel/s.
• Arrange the sweet potato cubes (if possible in a single layer) in a lightly-buttered 13 x 9-inch dish.
• In a small saucepan or the microwave stir together butter, honey and lemon juice until butter melts.
• Pour butter mixture over the sweet potatoes; toss well to coat.
• Sprinkle with salt and lots of black pepper.
• Bake uncovered until just fork-tender stirring and turning with a spatula or wooden spoon (about 40 minutes, might take shorter or longer time depending on the size of sweet potato pieces, try not overbake the sweet potatoes or they will be too soft).

Steps:

• Rinse the potatoes under warm water. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are just tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• Combine the sugar, ½ cup water, nutmeg, lemon zest and salt in a medium saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes. Add 5 tablespoons butter and stir well. When the butter has melted, remove from the heat and beat in the lemon juice. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into 1/2-inch disks. Use the remaining tablespoon of butter to grease a shallow baking dish. Lay the sweet potatoes in the dish in a single layer and pour the lemon syrup on top. Bake until bubbling hot, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1 1/2-inch irregular chunks. The more edges they have, the better they will taste because each edge will become crispy from broiler.
• Parboil potato chunks in a large saucepan until they are softened, but not mushy. Sometimes I prefer to steam them quickly instead, it's your choice. The potatoes need to be almost totally cooked, because they will only be crisped in your oven broiler.
• While sweet potatoes are boiling or steaming, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, and honey in a large bowl.
• Set oven on LOW broil or set top broiler element to 450 degrees as soon as potatoes are added to mixture.
• Drain potatoes and toss with lemon/oil/honey mixture until totally coated. Pour into a 9 by 13 baking dish. Sprinkle with the sea salt, and roast under your oven's broiler setting on second-to-top rack of oven (not too close! Use the rack about 3 inches down from broiler. Broil until edges begin to brown.
• You'll have to stand and keep an eye on them, this only takes a few minutes with a broiler. Sometimes I rake them over once with a long handled spatula or turn them with silicone tongs.
• Remove from oven and serve immediately. Warn everyone it's a HOT plate!

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool. Cut into 1/2-in. slices. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish., In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in orange juice concentrate and lemon zest. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with pecans if desired. , Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until sweet potatoes are heated through and sauce is bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Butter 2-quart casserole dish.
• In small saucepan over med-high heat, combine butter, honey, whisky, and sugar. Bring to simmer, whisking until butter and sugar are melted, reduce the heat to med-low and simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes.
• In large bowl (or ziplock bag if you let the butter mix cool a bit), toss potatoes with butter mixture, salt, and pepper. Transfer to prepared dish and bake, tossing occasionally, until tender and glazed, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.
• *Optional, add chopped nuts mixed throughout or sprinkle on top for last half of baking.
