smashed sweet potatoes with dried cranberries (crockpot)

from Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker

This is cooking right now -- I needed to use up a few sweet potatoes and also some butternut squash that was on its way out. I don't usually improvise much with the crockpot, but it's such a normal combination that hopefully it'll be alright...

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices (or maybe 2 sweet potatoes and a few handfuls of butternot squash)
1/2 c. apple juice (I used cranberry)
1/4 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 c. dried cranberries

Place sweet potatoes in the lightly oiled slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine juice and brown sugar and pour over potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, until potatoes are tender.

Just before serving, smash potatoes with a masher until smooth, then fold in cranberries. Serve hot.
