Ingredients

mediu sweet potatoes
stick butter
2 tsp grated peeled ginger
1/3 cup maple or pancake syrup
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp salt
3 firm-ripe Anjou pears (11/4 lb), peeled, halved, cored and sliced crosswise 1/4 in. thick

Cooking Instructions

Boil potatoes in a large pot with water to cover 20 to 25 minutes until firm-tender. Drain in a colander; let stand until cool enough to handle.

Meanwhile, melt butter in pot. Add ginger; cook until fragrant. Remove from heat; stir in syrup, lemon zest and salt.

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a shallow 2- to 21⁄2-qt baking dish.

Peel potatoes; slice 1⁄2 in. thick. Layer, alternating with pears, in baking dish (microwave-safe if reheating in microwave). Brush with half the butter mixture.

Bake 15 minutes; brush with remaining butter mixture. Bake 15 minutes more, or until pale golden around edges. Spoon juices on bottom of dish over top.

Planning Tip: Can be made up to 1 day ahead. Reheat in microwave, or in oven if space permits.
