Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 sweet potatoes -- (prefer Garnet)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons molasses

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Scrub the sweet potatoes and wrap them in

foil. Bake 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the sweet potatoes, until

soft.

 

2. When the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, slit open the top and

scoop out the flesh.

 

3. Mash or puree the flesh in a food processor until smooth.

 

4. Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and mix well. Transfer to

a serving bowl. Serve warm.

 

GARNET: Referred to as the classic yam and much larger than a regular sweet

potato, the Garnet is also called the Purple yam. Quite moist, its orange

-yellow flesh is described as being " succulent " and having an excellent flavor.

Encased in a light red-purplish garnet-colored skin, some can grow to be a foot

long. [The one we would use for pie.]

NOTES : Yum. Like in sweet potato pie, molasses and cloves bring the soul to

this simple yet scrumptious side dish. In addition to the comfort they bring to

this dish, sweet potatoes have been found to have one of the highest

concentrations of vitamin A as well as vitamin C in the vegetable kingdom. As a

vegetable superstar, sweet potatoes are also rich in fiber and complex

carbohydrates, so enjoy.
