Cider-Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Brown sugar and sweet potatoes are the perfect combination. Top them with Vegan Sweets brand marshmallows for a traditional holiday side dish.

2/3 cup (10 Tbsp. + 2 tsp.) apple cider
5 large sweet potatoes or yams, scrubbed but unpeeled
4 Tbsp. margarine
2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
Lightly toasted, chopped pecans or thinly sliced pineapple
rings, for garnish

• Boil the cider in a small saucepan over high heat until it is reduced by half, about 7 minutes. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and cook until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain well.
• Peel the hot sweet potatoes, using a kitchen towel to protect your hands. Return the potatoes to the warm pot, add the cider, margarine, brown sugar, and salt and mash until well blended.
• Garnish and serve hot.
