Instructions

  • Preheat convection oven to 350 °F. Spray full-size sheet pans with pan release.
  • Wash potatoes thoroughly, scrubbing with a brush. Cut sweet potatoes into ½ inch thick rounds and place on prepared sheet trays. Do not overload pans.
  • Bake potatoes until tender, approximately 35-40minutes depending on equipment.
    Critical Control Point: Heat to 135 °F or higher.
  • While potatoes bake, prepare the chutney. In a tilt skillet, kettle, or large stock pot, add pineapple tidbits (do not drain), dried cranberries (about 2 qt), brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Cook over medium low heat, stirring frequently, until cranberries are soft and jam like, and pineapple juice has reduced to a glaze, approximately 1 hour. The mixture will resemble a thick jam. Do not burn the chutney. Chutney may be prepared in advance, refrigerated, and reheated on day of service, if desired.
    Critical Control Point: Heat to 135 °F or higher. Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
  • To serve, portion ½ cup sweet potato slices using a No. 8 scoop or 4 oz spoodle and top with ¼ cup warm chutney using a No. 16 scoop.
