Mashed Sweet Potato

Wash the sweet potatoes, cut into four pieces and remove the seeds

Submerge them in salty water (one teaspoon of salt per two liters of water) to prevent them from darkening

Drain the sweet potatoes and place them in a pot

Add water, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until they are soft

Stir occasionally

Pass the sweet potatoes through a sieve to remove the skins and pieces

Season to taste

To vary, perfume the mashed sweet potato with cinnamon or cloves

Bring it back to a boil again and let it cook for another 10 minutes, stirring constantly

Then pour into warm jars, leaving a space of one centimeter at the top

Process half-liter and liter jars for 25 minutes in boiling water

Make six half-liter jars
