Grilled Sweet Potatoes

2 servings

• 1 pound sweet potato (1 large)
• 1 cup apple juice or cider
• 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup
•    pinch ground allspice
•    pinch ground cinnamon
•    pinch salt
•    pinch freshly ground black pepper

Peel the sweet potato. Cut lengthwise into 1-inch wide slices. Cook in boiling water to cover until tender when pierced (6 to 8 minutes).

In a small saucepan, combine apple juice or cider, butter, maple syrup, allspice, cinnamon, salt & pepper. Heat gently until the butter melts and mixture is smooth. Continue cooking, stirring often, until mixture reduces by 1/3.

Put the potato slices on grill and brush with juice mixture. Turn and baste often until they are brown on the outside and tender throughout, about 10 minutes

Bon appetit!
