Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends and food and it seems every year we count on filling up on all of our favorite dishes on this special day. <\/strong>
\nSweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkins are all Thanksgiving fare and the following recipes have been at our family table each year for as long as I can remember.
\n Enjoy a happy, healthy Thanksgiving.

\nBETH’S CANDIED SWEET POTAOTES
\n(my mom, Elizabeth White, Utah)

\n1 fifteen ounce can pineapple chunks, drained
\nScrub and wash sweet potatoes, do not peel. Place in large pan and cover with water. Bring to boil and cover. Lower heat to simmer for thirty minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside to cool enough to handle. Peel and slice one at a time into a casserole dish. Dot with butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and arrange some pineapple chunks. Continue until all ingredients are used. Cover with foil and chill until about one hour before serving. Bake in 350 degree preheated oven for 45 minutes. Serve hot. Yields eight servings.<\/p>\n
