      1    Med. Sweet Potato
    1/8 ts Finely Shredded Orange Peel
      1 tb Orange Juice
    3/4 ts Cornstarch
      2 ts Honey *

Peel and slice sweet potato crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place in a 10-ounce casserole. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Sprinkle with 1 T orange juice. Micro-cook, covered, on 100% power for 4 to 6 minutes or till potato is tender. Let stand, covered, while preparing sauce.

Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power for 30 seconds to 1 minute or till thickened and bubbly, stirring every 15 seconds. Stir together sauce and potato slices. Sprinkle with peanuts.
