Ok, today's recipe is for my sweet potatoes. I got this recipe from Southern Living probably 10 years ago. It is called....

Nannie's Candied Sweet Potatoes

6 large sweet potatoes, about 4 pounds
1 lemon
1orange
3/4 C. butter, melted
2 C. sugar
1/2 C. orange juice
2 t. ground cinnamon
1 t. vanilla

Peel potatoes; cut potatoes, lemon & orange into 1/4 inch slices.
Place potato slices in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish; arrange lemon and orange slices over potatoes.
Combine butter and next 4 ingredients. Pour over potato mixture; cover with plastic wrap, and let stand 1 hour.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours, basting often with pan juices.
