SWEET POTATO PUDDING

SWEET POTATO PUDDING 6 sweet potatoes 3 tablespoons butter, melted 1/4 cup cream 1/8 cup whiskey or rum or 1/4 cup sherry salt and pepper, to taste

We like a smokey flavored whiskey or dark rum with vanilla undertones, such as Jack Daniels or Myer's. Most of the alcohol evaporates during the baking, but you can substitute 1 teaspoon of vanilla, if desired. If the potatoes are not as sweet as you would like, a teaspoon of honey can be added along with the butter. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Wash and peel sweet potatoes and remove blemishes. Boil or steam until fork tender.

Drain and mash with a tablespoon of butter. Heat cream until hot but not boiling.

Beat potatoes with a mixer, pouring in cream in a thin stream; beat until fluffy. Beat in the remaining ingredients.

Transfer potatoes to a buttered baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, until brown.

Serves 6.
