CARAMELIZED APPLESAUCE

In large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, eggs, sugar and enough ground almonds to make thick batter. Mix well. Fold in raisins, dates and pecans.

Season to taste with salt. In large skillet, heat ¼ inch oil to 375 degrees. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of potato mixture into oil, flattening with back of wet spoon. Brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.

Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve hot with sweetened whipped cream or Caramelized Applesauce. Yields about 3 dozen latkes.

Caramelized Applesauce: In large bowl, toss together apple slices, lemon juice and peel. Set aside. In large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, marmalade and orange juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar and marmalade dissolve. Bring syrup to boil, reduce heat and simmer 3 to 4 minutes, just until sauce begins to thicken. Add apple mixture to syrup and toss to coat apples. Simmer, covered, 10 to 15 minutes, until apples are soft. Transfer to glass bowl and cool to room temperature. Gently mash apple mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and chill. Serve with latkes.
