This is for my friend Robyn .
I know Robyn has a dislike for food that is or made with pumpkin . Sweet potato is not pumpkin , it is a starchy elongated tuber . The texture is very similar to potato , with a dense white to orange flesh with a sweetish flavour and can be cooked just like a poatato .
Sweet potatoes are in abundance in the markets and grocery stores
So let`s see what can be done with them .
CANDIED SWEET POTATOES
Peel 4 medium sweet potatoes and slice into 1/4 inch thickness.
Place into a saucepan and cover with cold water and cook until just done but not too tender .
Drain and place the sweet potato slices in an oiled casserole dish .
In a separate bowl combine 3/4 cup of granulated brown sugar or coconut blossom sugar , 3 tbs of coconut flour ( or plain flour or ground flax seed or almond meal ) , mix these ingredients together with 2 cups of lemonade .
Pour this mixture over the sliced sweet poatatoes .
Dot with butter / margarine .
Place in a preheated oven on 180 deg for 30 minutes , the mixture with thicken .
Serve with grilled fish , roast chicken or slow cooked beef .
