- Step 1
Build a fire in the grill. Let the fire die down, until the coals are covered with gray ash.
- Step 2
Put the golden raisins and Cognac in a small bowl and soak for 10 minutes.
- Step 3
Tear off 8 sheets of heavy-duty foil, each about 2 feet long, and divide them into 2 stacks. Place half the sweet potato quarters, apple quarters, onion slices and sage in the center of the top sheet in each stack. Dot each with half the butter and half the raisins, plus the orange zest and salt and pepper to taste. Fold the top sheet in each stack over the vegetables, rotate each package one-quarter turn, and fold the second sheet over it. Repeat with remaining 2 sheets of foil.
- Step 4
Place the packs in the coals around the periphery of the fire. Pile up the coals around the pack and cook 30 minutes.
- Step 5
Remove the pack from the coals, unwrap and check: If the sweet potatoes need more time, put the pack back in the coals or in a 300-degree oven until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork but give a bit of resistance.

Cooking Notes
Teresa
For those of us not fortunate enough to have a grill (or a space for it) -- can you do this in the oven?
Jane
Yes, this can be prepared in the oven. Tonight, I prepared this to accompany this site's Sausage and Cabbage. The Sausage and Cabbage cooked at 300 degrees, so I followed the recipe for the Sweet Potatoes and Apples placing the ingredients in a separate Pyrex dish, covered it with foil and cooked it at the same oven temperature as the Sausage and Cabbage for about 1 1/4 hours. The combination of flavors was outstanding.
Ellen
Delicious! I baked the foil packets in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Yes, this can be prepared in the oven. Tonight I fixed Julia Moskin's Sausage and Cabbage which cooked at 300 degrees. This dish cooked separately at the same low temperature in the same oven for about 1 1/4 hours, was perfectly done and a delicious accompaniment to Sausage and Cabbage.
