SWEET POTATO-PINEAPPLE DESSERT
(8 servings)

4-1/2 pounds yellow sweet potatoes
1 medium pineapple, peeled and chopped
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup pine nuts

Cook the sweet potatoes until tender. Let cool, peel, and mash into a puree. Measure out 3 cups.

Puree the pineapple. Drain and measure out 3 cups. In a large saucepan, combine the pineapple with the sugar. Simmer until the mixture is thick and syrupy (220°F on a candy thermometer). Stir in the sweet potato and cook, stirring, until it pulls away from the pan.

Pour onto a serving platter and garnish with pine nuts. Serve at room temperature.
