sweet potatos

This is a recipe that I used for Thanksgiving (2011), by adapting four or five other recipes and all the typical ingredients ~ so that I could make them in the crock pot (since I had a turkey in my tiny oven already!). Making this was so easy, and I didn't really have to think about it at all. Its pretty sweet, and more of a desert-side -- but yummy!!

5-6 sweet potatoes, skinned & sliced thin
1/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 Tb vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tb orange juice

Melt the butter - and pour it over the sliced sweet potatoes. Combine all the dry ingredients, and then toss with the buttered potatoes. Combine well, and then pour into your crock pot. You can add the OJ & vanilla on top and simmer on high until done. Enjoy!
