Baked sweet potatoes with brown sugar and spices

Assembled and ready for oven

Not really yams, but sweet potatoes. Here's my recipe (which varies from year to year):

• Enough sweet potatoes to fill a 9x11 pan (this year I used a variety of them, red, white, purple)
• about 1/2 box of dark brown sugar
• 1 stick of butter
• spices you have on hand (mace, cinnamon, allspice, ginger)
• about 1.5 shot glasses of Bourbon (you can use rum also)

Cut sweet potatoes into nice chunks (I don't peel them, but wash and trim them, this makes it a healthy choice side dish!).

Slice butter into 1/4 inch slices and put some on the bottom of the pan; sprinkle with some brown sugar and then various spices; layer on sweet potatoes.

Put down more butter slides, sweet potatoes, and spices, you should end up with about 2 or so layers depending on how snug you pack them.

Pour bourbon over the top.

And pret-a-manger!

Cover with foil; puncture in a few places and bake in a 350 - 400 degree oven until sweet potatoes are soft (30 - 45 minutes depending on size).
