Stove-Top Candied Sweet Potatoes

Directions

In a 1-quart saucepan combine sweet potatoes, water, sugars, 2 tablespoon of the butter; the vanilla and lemon juice and rind.

Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Uncover and cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes.

Add the remaining butter, stirring until completely melted.

Cook uncovered until sauce is thick, about 2 minutes more.
