The sweet potato is sweet, but not the high-calorie indulgence most people think. It has 105 calories per 3½ ounces, about the same as a regular white potato. It is not even a potato but a member of the morning glory family. It is packed with Vitamin A and beta-carotene. This high-fiber food is a wonderful way to add color and variety to a meal.

This recipe makes eight servings.

Ingredients:
5 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes
2 T. pure coconut oil
1 large green apple, cored, peeled, and diced
1 c. raw cranberries
½ c. raisins
1 T. raw, unfiltered honey or coconut sugar
½ c. orange juice

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place sweet potatoes in a large, oiled (coconut oil or butter) baking dish, and top with apples, cranberries, and raisins.
3. Drizzle with honey or raw sugar.
4. Pour orange juice over the top.
5. Cover and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Variations:
Substitute yams for sweet potatoes.
Add ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
Substitute dried cranberries for fresh.
Substitute butter or ghee for the coconut oil.

Remember to add the main ingredient.
The Main Ingredient Is Always Love!
