1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 Large; orange Jewel sweet, (3 to 4)
; potatoes
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon Allspice
¼ teaspoon Ginger
¼ teaspoon Cloves
1 cup Water
1 Cinnamon sticks; (1 to 2)
½ cup Butter or margarine; (1 stick)
½ cup Karo; (corn) syrup
½ cup Brown sugar
1 pinch Salt

Directions

While grating sweet potatoes, bring to a slow boil ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ground nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves in 1 cup of water. (Add cinnamon sticks for additional cinnamon flavor.) Put the sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Just before removing the pot of spices from the stove, add butter or margarine, Karo syrup, brown sugar, and salt. Stir while the butter melts. Remove the cinnamon sticks. Pour this mixture over the grated sweet potatoes. Blend well together. Put in a well-buttered casserole dish and place in a preheated 350 degrees oven. (At this point start another cup of water and spices on the stove top, keeping them ready to add as needed, and the whole house Christmasy smelling!)

NOTES : The ingredients below are given in approximate quantities, for this is a recipe that must be doctored up along the way. When the pudding has cooked for about 30 minutes, you will have to stir it around to add a little more water, and lick the spoon. At this point decide what extra spices are needed and add them. You may add more Karo syrup or butter as well as spices. Repeat as often as you wish. Generally it takes about an hour and a half for the pudding to bake thoroughly and bubble up.
