Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1-½ cup unsweetened apple juice
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium high heat. Simmer, stirring frequently, until liquid is mostly absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  • If lumps remain, blend in a food processor until smooth. Be sure to vent so steam can escape!
  • Store in an airtight container, refrigerated for up to one week, or divide between 4-8 oz. sterilized jars and can to give as gifts.

Notes

  • Bake and then mash sweet potatoes or buy pre-cooked and mashed if available.
  • Light brown sugar can be substituted for dark brown.
  • Sweetened apple juice can be used, but if so, reduce the amount of brown sugar in half.
