Grilled Sweet Taters

4 pounds medium sweet potatoes:
Glaze:
4 tablespoons molasses
1/2 orange -- Juice of
1 tablespoon unsalted butter at room temp
1 pinch allspice
salt and pepper to taste

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.

Mash glaze 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
