Curried Sweet Potatoes

1-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, pared and sliced
2 large Granny Smith apples pared and sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 T ginger root, peeled and minced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 medium onion finely chopped
1/4 cup raisins

Boil the sweet potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes.

In a large skillet, melt the butter on low heat. Add the spices and fry for a few seconds. Add the onion, garlic, ginger. Fry until the onion is limp and transluscent. Add the apples and lemon zest. Stir to coat the apples. Add the raisins. Cover and cook on low heat until the apples are tender.

Drain the sweet potatoes. Break into large chunks, and add to the apple mixture. Mix the lemon juice and brown sugar together. Pour over the apples and sweet potatoes. Cover the skillet, and bake at 300 F for 40 minutes. Add orange juice or apple juice, or other liquid if necessary during baking.
