Yummy Maple Orange Sweet Potatoes & Carrots!

I found a recipe for this dish, gave it a few adjustments, and it made a wonderful side-dish! Give it a try:

-Two small sweet potatoes
-1/2 LB of carrots
-1 TBSP butter/margarine
-1/4 C Syrup(Maple would be best)
-1/4 C Orange Juice
-1/4 TSP Salt
-1/8 TSP White Pepper
-1/8 TSP Cinnamon(Use more if you really like cinnamon)





-Peel, wash and cut up sweet potatoes and put them in the crock pot.
-Add carrots to the crock pot(I used baby carrots but if you use whole carrots just chop them up).
-Melt 1tbsp of butter in a bowl. Stir in syrup, juice, salt, pepper and cinnamon to the butter.
-Pour the above mixture over the carrots & potatoes in the crock pot.
-Set crock pot to cook on high for 4 hours.
-Serves 2 people so double or triple up if you want more. You can also cook on low for 6-8 hours.
ENJOY!!!!
