Directions:
In a large pot, over medium-high heat, combine sweet potatoes, cider and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30-35 minutes or until sweet potatoes are fork tender. Drain well.
In the same pot bring the butter and maple syrup to a boil. Add the potatoes and toss. Season with salt, to taste.
