Maple-Baked Sweet Potatoes with Cranberries
Tart cranberries are the perfect addition to this sweet potato side dish covered with a deliciously sweet maple syrup glaze.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Place whole sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender 20 to 30 minutes.

Drain and allow to cool.

Meanwhile heat maple syrup and brown sugar in a small saucepan to boiling.

Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by just about half.

Add cranberries and return to a boil.

Cook until berries are popping open.

Add butter and dried thyme; remove from the heat.
