Sweet Potato Bake
Makes 8 to 9 servings

1 1/2 pounds (4 to 5 medium) sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/2-inch
thick
1/2 lemon, very thinly sliced and seeded
1/2 orange, very thinly sliced and seeded
1 cup crushed pineapple
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shredded coconut
Maraschino cherries, for garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium pot, boil the sweet potato slices
until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.

In a greased 11-by-7-by-2-inch baking dish, place a layer of sweet potato
slices. Then alternate sweet potato slices with lemon slices and orange
slices, ending with sweet potatoes.

In a small mixing bowl, combine pineapple, sugar, butter and salt. Pour
mixture over the sweet potatoes, sprinkle with coconut and garnish with
cherries. Bake 30 minutes.
