                                          • In a large stock pot, add margarine, ginger, orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla, and water. Bring to a boil for 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
                                          • Combine 1 cup (about 9⅔ oz) ginger mixture and sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Spread evenly. Recommend to cook in batches of 25. Set remaining ginger mixture aside for step 6.
                                          • Place 2 qt (about 4 lb 2 oz) sweet potatoes on a steam table pan (12" x 20" x 2½"). Cover tightly.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                            For 100 servings, use 4 pans.
                                          • Bake:
                                            Conventional oven: 375 °F for 20–25 minutes.
                                            Convection oven: 350 °F for 15–20 minutes.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Heat to 140 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
                                          • While sweet potatoes are baking, pour remaining ginger mixture into a large stock pot. Heat uncovered over medium–high heat. Bring to a boil.
                                          • Add cornstarch and water. Simmer for 1 minute or until mixture thickens. Stir well.
                                          • Add cranberries. Simmer uncovered for 1 minute. Stir well.
                                          • After removing sweet potatoes from oven, pour 2 cups (about 1 lb 2 oz) glaze over each pan.
