Raw Hawaiian Honey for Sweet Potatoe and Orange Hobo Packs

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Our mother passed along this terrific, popular dish, using our Wilelaiki Blossom raw Hawaiian honey:

  • 8 medium sweet potatoes (5 lbs), left unpeeled, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 navel oranges, left unpeeled, thinly sliced
  • 2 large red onions, peeled and trimmed (leaving root ends intact) and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • 1/3 cup raw Hawaiian Wilelaiki Blossom honey
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Prepare grill for cooking.
  • Toss together sweet potatoes, oranges, onions, butter, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Put a 2-foot -long double layer of foil on a work surface. Place half of sweet potato mixture in center and sprinkle with 1/2 cup raisins. Cover with a third sheet of foil and tightly roll up all sides to seal. Wrap packet in a fourth sheet of foil to ensure insulation. Make another packet with remaining vegetables and raisins.
  • Put packets side by side directly on hot coals. Cover grill and open grill vents, then grill packets until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • While packets are grilling, stir together raw Hawaiian honey, lemon juice, and parsley. Remove packets from grill and carefully unwrap. Drizzle vegetables with raw Hawaiian honey mixture.

Serves 10 to 12.

Gas grill method: Put packets on grill rack and close lid. Roast with grill set to moderately low.

Oven method: toss potatoes, oranges, onions, raisins, butter, and oil together in a large shallow roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil and roast in  a pre-heated 450 degree oven until potatoes begin to soften, about 50 minutes. Uncover and roast until vegetables are browned in spots and tender, about 25 minutes more.
