Candied Sweet Potatoes

MKR's recipe on page 68 of Cross Creek Cookery makes me skip down memory lane. Candied sweet taters were always on the menu in my home place whether it was Jonesboro or Miami. By the Miami era, we simply opened a can and out oozed the sugar sodden potatoes. Then we ADDED more sugar and stuffed them in half an orange with a marshmallow sitting perkily on top of the tater. I think there may have been some orange juice added. The dish was good even if it was not good for you.
