The recipe for these simply seasoned sweet potato wedges comes from a 1900's cookbook. It's proof that tried-and-true dishes never go out of style.—Phyllis Schmalz, Kansas City, Kansas

Ingredients

3/4 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup water
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 large sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds), peeled and cut into wedges

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine preserves and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add the lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Place potatoes in two greased 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Brush half of the preserve mixture over potatoes.
Bake at 400° for 35-40 minutes or until tender, basting occasionally with remaining preserve mixture.
