Ingredients
- 2 grapefruit
- 4 large navel oranges
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 5 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, (about 10 medium) peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt

Directions
Cut rind from grapefruit and 2 oranges. Separate sections by cutting between membranes. Reserve sections. Squeeze remaining membranes over 2-cup measure (about 2/3 cup juice.) From remaining oranges, grate rind to equal 2 teaspoons. Halve oranges; squeeze juice to equal 1/2 cup. Add to reserved juices.
Heat butter, honey and sugar in large skillet over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved and starts to turn light brown, 5 minutes. Add potatoes, reserved juices, orange rind and salt. Cover; bring to a boil. Reduce to medium-low; simmer, covered, 22 to 25 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
Uncover; cook over medium-high until liquid evaporates, thick glaze forms, 3 minutes. Stir in fruit, lime rind.

Really good. Reminiscent of the yams my mom used to make out of the can with brown sugar and orange juice, but better. The citrus segments got lost in the sweet potatoes, though. I think I will skip them and just use store bought juice in the future.
