6-8 medium large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp grated nutmeg
pinch of allspice
1/4 cup bourbon or dark rum (optional)
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium high heat but do not brown. Add brown sugar and heat till syrupy, about 3-5 minutes. Stirring constantly.
Add sliced sweet potatoes, nutmeg, allspice and honey. Toss until syrup coats potatoes. Cover and simmer over medium low heat until tender but still firm. Stir frequently with a large spoon so they cook evenly.
Remove potatoes from the liquid and set aside. Add bourbon or rum and heat liquid over high heat until thickened. Poor juice over potatoes and serve warm. If desired top with marshmallows now and bake at 450F for 15 minutes until puffy and golden brown.
