In keeping with the spirit of our Maple Harvest Day, the following is a recipe from the Village’s publication, “Maple Harvest Sampler: Recipes from the Sugarbush.” The book is sold in the Storrowton Village Gift Shop.

Sweet Potatoes with Maple Glaze

5 Medium Sweet Potato
½ Cup Maple Syrup
½ teaspoon Grated Lemon Peel
1/8 teaspoon Ground Ginger
½ teaspoon Table Salt
2 Tablespoon Butter

Cover potatoes with water in a large saucepan and boil until fork tender. Remove from heat and put potatoes on a towel until cool. Remove skins and cut potatoes into ¼ inch slices. Arrange slices evenly in a shallow buttered baking dish and pour the maple syrup over the slices. Sprinkle with the grated lemon peel, ginger and dot with butter. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes have browned.
