#1,155: Sweet Potato Butter


This sweet potato butter smelled so good cooking up in my crockpot.  I don't like using my immersion blender in my crockpot so I threw it in my food processor instead.  This is really good on top of apple slices.  I tried convincing my kids that it was caramel dipping sauce but they didn't go for it.  :)   It makes quite a bit of "butter" too, as I have 4 jars of this now in my fridge. 
 
(Makes about 20 oz)3 cups peeled sweet potatoes, cut into slices about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick
1 cup unsweetened apple juice
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon cinnamon or to taste
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 pinch salt
Zest of 1 orange
Honey or maple syrup to taste

Combine all ingredients in a 1 or 1 1/2 quart slow cooker and stir well to combine.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the sweet potatoes are completely cooked and soft.  Using an immersion blender, blend everything together in your slow cooker until smooth.
