1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 c. honey
2 tbsp. rum
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger

Cook sweet potatoes until firm. Cool, peel and cut diagonally 1/4 inch slices. Peel apples, cut into eighths lengthwise and toss with lemon juice. Arrange potatoes and apples in buttered 14 inch round dish or pizza pan. Sprinkle with walnuts or chestnuts.

Combine butter, sugar, honey, rum, spices and cook until sugar is dissolved. Spoon over sweet potato/apple dish. Bake at 400 degrees, basting for 30 minutes; then broil to brown, if desired.
