Ingredients
5 lbs sweet potatoes2 tbl butter or margarine – room temperature5 large ripe Bartlett pears1 cup Pear Nectar¼ - ½ c brown sugar1 tsp cinnamon¼ tsp ginger¼ tsp salt
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Fork sweet potatoes and bake in pan for 1 hour. Cool, peel and slice into ¾” slices.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Core, peel and chop pears into ¼” – ½” chunks. (If you are doing this slowly, you may want to place the pear chunks into a bowl of water and a little lemon juice so that they don’t turn brown.)
Spray Pam into a large skillet then melt the butter in it. Add the pears and sauté over a medium heat until they begin to soften.
Pour pear nectar into a bowl and stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
Reduce heat on skillet to medium-low and add the liquid. Cover and simmer until pears are very tender.
Spray Pam into a ceramic casserole dish. Add layers of sweet potato slices and the pear mixture from the skillet.
Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
