Cranberry-glazed Sweet Potatoes try to burn down the house

I found this when I googled "cranberry sweet potato," and was sold at the word "bourbon" and thought maybe fate intervened when  I saw "cayenne".  Spicy, bourbony, sweet potatoes and cranberries?  Using two of my four farm share items!?  Fate?

Nope, the gods are playing tricks on me.  I mean, don't get me wrong, this is pretty delicious.  I only had a bite or two so far, but it was candied deliciousness.  It was the baking process that woke up the neighborhood.  But before I get to the fire part...

Alterations I made:
* I used a 1/4 cup instead of a 1/3 a cup of brown sugar.  I'd like to say it was intentional - sweet potatoes are sweet enough - but the truth is I didn't double-check.  And I probably didn't double-check because I could never rationalize using more than 1/4 c of sugar in any recipe.  (When I post my grandmother's Company Meal Sauerkraut recipe, I will reiterate this point.)
* Instead of using 2 T of bourbon and 4 T of butter, I used 2 T of oil and 4 T of bourbon.  I realized going in that this may effect the "glaze" aspect... esp with my reduced sugar... but I figured bourbon evaporates quicker than water.  Also it is 100 times more delicious.
* The dish was too watery from the get-go.  I ended up dumping out some of the liquid before the glaze step because it wasn't getting soaked in, but the potatos were fullly cooked so I had to move on.  I'm waiting to see what happens when it cools completely.

And now, the punchline:
So the second-to-last time I took it out to reglaze, I was a bit too flippant about throwing it back in the oven.  Some of the liquid spilled on to the oven floor.  I wet a paper towel and tried to get it off and turned on the vent fan and thought it'd be fine and went away and I was wrong.  Smoke detector.  Loud.  Roommates woken.  Windows are now open, so luckily it was 73 in here after the oven had been on for an hour, and a fairly mild first of November.

Everything turned out alright.  Especially the sweet potatos.
