Sweet Potato & Carrot Casserole Recipe

Preheat oven to 375 °. In a small bowl, cover raisins with hot water; let stand 30 minutes. Place potatoes in a 6-qt. stockpot; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or just until tender. Remove potatoes and cool slightly. Add carrots to same pot of boiling water; cook, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until tender; drain. Peel sweet potatoes and cut crosswise into 1-1/2-in.-thick slices. Arrange potatoes and carrots in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish, cut sides down. Drain raisins. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; stir in raisins. Add brown sugar and orange juice, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour over vegetables. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until heated through and sauce is bubbly; if desired, baste occasionally with sauce. Let stand 10 minutes; toss before serving.
