I saw this recipe posted in a local newspaper for the upcoming Thanksgiving. I haven't made this yet, but wanted to post it for others who are looking for a nice side dish for the holidays. Prep time includes the time needed to bake the potatoes.

SERVES 8 -10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

10 large sweet potatoes (approx. 5 lbs)
3/4 cup butter
1/3 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons candied ginger (minced)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup dark rum (optional)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375F.
2
Bake potatoes on a cookie sheet until soft (approx. 1.5 hrs).
3
When cool enough to handle, peel and chunk potatoes into a large bowl.
4
Add butter and other ingredients and toss to mix.
5
Mash potatoes thoroughly or puree in a blender. A hand mixer works well also.
6
Lower oven temperature to 350F.
7
Turn mashed potatoes into a casserole dish and dot the top with a bit of additional butter.
8
Bake 30-40 minutes until hot.

NOTE: This can be made ahead of time. Bring the mashed potato mixture to room temperature before dotting with butter and baking until hot.
