I have delicious memories of my mother’s candied sweet potatoes. She would cook them in an iron skillet on top of the stove. So rich and decadent that they’re almost like a dessert. This recipe is similar except I’ve add a splash of fresh orange juice and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. Perfect flavors for a holiday side dish. I think my mom will approve.

To save time, you can cut your sweet potatoes two or three days ahead just keep them cover with ice water and stored in the frig to keep them from turning brown. The orange sauce can be made two or three days ahead as well. Happy Holidays and Enjoy! Aletia
The Christmas holidays are soon approaching. How exciting! It’s my favorite time of year, and I want this year to be extra special so I’m going to jazz up my holiday dinner table with just a few new twist to my traditional holiday classics. Savory Turkey Breast Stuffed with Fruit and Nuts is going to be our Christmas dinner treat. You are going to love it too! This savory turkey breast is stuffed with a sweet, spicy fruit and nut mixture topped with a beautiful, shinny pear glaze. Sounds yummy, doesn’t it? The spicy fruit and nut mixture turns your everyday turkey breast into a wonderful festive main course. It may look complicated, trying to stuff a turkey breast, but it’s not. I’ll walk you through it. Put the breast on a cutting board and holding your knife parallel to the a cutting board or work surface, slice open the turkey breast horizontally, working from the thicker side of the lobe to the thinner side and not cutting all the way through. Open the turkey breast like a book and season with salt and pepper. Spread the fruit and nut filling evenly over half the opened turkey breast, leave a little border around the outer edges. Fold the other half of the turkey breast over the stuffing. Tie the breast crosswise with kitchen string in four or five places to hold it all together. I’m going to serve this savory turkey breast alongside a super moist Apple Chestnut Cornbread Dressing and Orange Candied Yams. Be sure to check my recipe for these sides. Merry Christmas! Enjoy!
