Rum Glazed Sweet Potatoes

Rum Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Rum glazed sweet potato slices make a great side dish, and the sauce is delish on pork chops too!
We wanted to do something a little different with a pair of sweet potatoes found lurking in the pantry. This recipe cuts ‘em plank style and cooks them on the grill. You could just stop right there and have a tasty side dish. 
But no, Rick Browne’s cookbook, The Big Book of Barbecue Sides, went ahead and took the side dish over the top with a sweet, thick glaze of molasses, rum, and raisins. (I found no online version of the recipe, so please hover over the photos below for a brief how-to description.)
Even better, the glaze goes perfectly with grilled pork chops. This tasty meal also felt a little bit scandalous – as if we were eating candy for dinner. They say it’s nice to be naughty every so often.

Grilled sweet potatoes are good even without the rum glaze -- but with, it's a wow!
My recommended changes:
  • Less sugar. 
  • Thin out the glaze, maybe using a water-orange juice mix. As-is it’s quite thick and hard to serve. (Be prepared for leftovers or reduce the overall quantity.)
  • The recipe calls for dark molasses. I used a ‘Robust’ version and now wonder if regular ol’ molasses might have been better. I like the strong, deep, dark flavor but am not sure everyone else will. 

My secret for delectable pork chops = brining. Find more info here. 

Are you ready for today’s cook-along song? It’s also a good message while we’re still under the stay-at-home order, at least in my state.
You know I usually enjoy a jazz soundtrack over dinner, but today we’re veering in a folk/Americana direction instead. Jake Xerxes Fussell brings us a bit of intricate finger-picking and a few vocal quirks in this down-homey tune titled Have you Ever Seen Peaches Growing on a Sweet Potato Vine? I hope you like it.

At first, I was wondering if I am going to like this recipe. But when I saw the process of making it and read several reviews about it, I realized that Rum Glazed Sweet Potatoes is something that we should try. if you want a different approach on your sweet potatoes, this is the perfect one because we can see how good tasting this one. I am looking forward to try this anytime soon. Perhaps, tomorrow I will cook this to my family!
