In a large pot, combine water, piloncillo, and a cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil over the stove to dissolve the sugar.




Add the sweet potato chunks to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the syrup.


Reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the syrup has thickened into a glaze, which takes about 55 minutes.
