Grilled Sweet Potato

Grilled sweet potatoes I can do (well see about BBQ in a few days). Ive never been nearly as successful with raw sweet potatoes on the grill as with pre-cooked ones. A favorite recipe is a molasses glazed sweet potatoes from "Thrill of the Grill," which has a real candied sweet potato taste without being cloyingly sweet: Peel and slice lengthwise into 1/2" slices. Cook in boiling salted water to cover, 8-10 minutes. You should be able to get a fork thru but feel resistance, and slices should not break apart - obviously they need to hold up to the grill later. Drain em and cool to room temp. (Ill do this in the AM or nite before; remove from fridge 30 minutes before grilling.) Glaze for 4# taters is: Mash mixture with back of a spoon till butter is incorporated Grill the slices 2-3 minutes per side over a moderately hot fire, then brush with glaze and cook 30 seconds per side to finish the glaze I like a *very light* grate nutmeg to finish too, but Im then a nutmeg junkie.
