Preheat oven to 450. Place sweet potatoes on a large jelly-roll pan. Drizzle with 2 T. olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes or until tender, turning half-way through.


Place remaining 1 T. oil, cranberries, water and honey in a saucepan.  Add chopped chipotle and 1 tsp. adobo sauce to pan. Cook over medium-low heat; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes or until cranberries pop, stirring occasionally. Mash until chunky.
