kkcapricorn says:

Desserts made with sweet potatoes are an autumn favorite but can be enjoyed year round. Try making sweet potato pie, bread, muffins or pudding.

Brown sugar, marsh mellows and a little butter makes a wonderful glaze (candied) on sweet potatoes. Just in time for Thanksgiving. And don't forget those cranberries.

Good to see you back kkcapricorn.

I make a mean sweet potato pie - takes 1 cup of bourbon (and other ingredients). Yum!

Sometimes this root vegetable will be shaped like a potato, being short and blocky with rounded ends, while other times it will be longer with tapered ends. There is often much confusion between sweet potatoes and yams; the moist-fleshed, orange-colored root vegetable that is often called a "yam" is actually a sweet potato</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=64&utm_source=rss_reader&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_feed">Sweet potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark and well-ventilated place, where they will keep fresh for up to ten days.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=64&utm_source=rss_reader&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_feed">Serving Ideas:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=64&utm_source=rss_reader&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_feed">Purée cooked sweet potatoes with bananas, maple syrup and cinnamon.
