SWEET POTATOES WITH CIDER & BROWN SUGAR

      Title: SWEET POTATOES WITH CIDER & BROWN SUGAR
  Categories: Potatoes
       Yield: 8 Servings
  
       4 lb Sweet potatoes, peeled and
            Cut into 1-inch chunks
   2 1/2 c  Unsweetened apple cider
     1/2 c  Dark brown sugar
       1    Stick unsalted butter
            2" piece of cinnamon stick
  
   In a large nonreactive saucepan, combine the potatoes, cider, brown
   sugar, 6 tablespoons of the butter and the cinnamon stick. Bring to a
   boil over moderate heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, partially cover
   and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender,
   about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly, remove the cinnamon stick, and
   pass the potatoes through the medium disk of a food mill or puree in
   batches in a food processor. Transfer to an overproof serving dish.
   The potatoes can be prepared to this point up to 4 days ahead. Cover
   tightly and refrigerate. Return to room temperature before
   proceeding. Preheat the oven to 325F. Dot the potatoes with the
   remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, cover with foil and bake, stirring
   once or twice, for about 20 minutes, until steaming. Remove the foil
   and bake for
         5    minutes longer.
