Sweet Potato Preserve

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 kg sugar
• 1 kg sweet potatoes

Instructions

1. Cook the sweet potatoes whole until cooked through.
2. Peel them and cut into strips or slices.
3. Prepare a syrup separately with the sugar, cooking it to a hard-crack stage (bastante punto—considerable concentration).
4. Add the sweet potato strips to the hot syrup and cook together until the mixture turns golden and reaches the proper consistency for a preserve.
