3 Pounds Sweet Potatoes
6 Tablespoons Butter
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Nutmeg
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1/4 Teaspoon Almond Extract
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Cup Peach Liqueur, like Schnapps
1 Teaspoon Lemon Zest
1 Teaspoon Orange Zest
1 Cup Orange Juice
1 Lemon, juiced
1/2 Orange, sliced
Peel and slice sweet potatoes. Put in a large pot of lightly salted water. Bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes, drain and cool. Put sweet potatoes into a 2 quart casserole, dot with the butter. Mix sugar with next 8 ingredients and mix well. Sprinkle over sweet potatoes. Pour orange juice and lemon juice over sweet potatoes. Cover with the sliced oranges. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Note: I usually sprinkle a little more Peach Schnaaps over it about 5 minutes before it's done.
