Candied Sweet Potatoes

I make candied sweet potatoes the way my grandmother did.

I par boil the potatoes, cut the length-wise into long spear like shapes, and coat them with a mixture of molasses and honey, to which about 1tbsp of orange juice concentrate has been added (I don't measure).

I put them in the oven, and baste them with more of the molasses mixture as they cook, every 5 or 10
minutes.

When they are tender and quite lacquered, I take them out. They will look very dark, and gooey, and they are quite delicious, sweet, but not cloying.
