Recipe by Liza Porter, cookbook editor and former owner of Homestead Artisans & Longview Farm
Serves: 4
Ingredients
*Ingredients currently available at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market
● ¾ cup apple juice or water
● 1 lb sweet potatoes*, sliced
● 1 medium cooking apple*, chopped
● ¼ cup dried cranberries
● 2 T maple syrup*
● ¼ tsp salt
● ¼ cup whole hazelnuts or walnuts
Instructions
Place the nuts in a dry frying pan, over high heat, and toast, stirring frequently, until they smell toasted and are not scorched. Immediately pour onto a chopping board or into a chopping bowl and chop finely. Set aside. Pour the juice or water into a 10-inch skillet. Add sweet potatoes and shake the pan to spread them out. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook, covered, until potatoes are almost fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in apple, cranberries, maple syrup, and salt. Boil gently for 5-6 minutes until the apple is just tender and the liquid is syrupy. Place in serving bowl. Sprinkle with nuts. Top with a tarragon sprig if desired.
